Please just click on the graphic of the lyrics to hear the song " Some Gave All" by Billy Ray Cyrus. It is a 4 minute song so it takes a little time to load, but well worth the wait.

About Vietnam

The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history. Two American advisors were killed on July 8, 1959, and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.

Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran.  For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers.  And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.

EVERY person who served during the Viet Nam era contributed to our Freedom.
While forces where deployed in Viet Nam the rest of the world was guarded by everyone else.
Deaths and causulties would have been much higher without the support of our military around the globe.

Welcome Home ALL Viet Nam era Brothers and Sisters
It was an honor to serve while All of you did.

HAPPY REAL BIRTHDAY, 4.

Since I know how you were so thrilled with the huevos rancheros last time, I made some for your breakfast with red jalapeno garnish, some corn salsa, cinnamon roll, orange juice and of course lots of coffee.

Beamer wanted this all served on a silver tray to your room, however.....I really think he wanted you to see your present from him.

"And of course, the card from Beamer and Morgan -

Just make sure you see "We Were Soldiers". Excellent movie and a helluva overdue tribute to 'Nam vets.

Welcome Home Brother

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

In honor of your father and our Viet Nam BROTHER who gave his life defending our Freedom.

[IronJack]

There is no emoticon for a silent salute, with a spirit humbled in the presence of true sacrifice. But then, there's no gesture adequate to that task either. So mere words will have to do.

Thank you.

[firewalk]
