SAM, what a wonderful tribute to our veteran's. Thank you for sharing this. :)

Thanks for the ping, SAM.

It was a very emotional time for me when I was able to visit the Wall a few years ago.

The Traveling Wall is in Modesto, CA this weekend. First Baptist Church of Modesto is hosting the project. FBC Modesto is also presenting a drama each night. The drama presents a story of a day in the lives of a squad of men in Vietnam. The title is "Not Forgotten," and offers a healing message to so many Vets who served in that era. Information can be seen at www.fbcmodesto.com.

Thank a Vet - it's the least we can do. Some vets have never heard the words, "Thank You."

Salute!

"Each year (on Veterans Day), I have a need to express my gratitude to all American veterans in general, all the Vietnam veterans in particular, and to the more than 58,000 names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for their sacrifices to defend the freedom of a people in a place they hardly knew," Nguyen said. "(And it's) not just me alone. Overseas, Vietnamese are forever grateful for those sacrifices."

What a powerful statement by Bao Nguyen. So many people really need to read this.

Thank-you all, for your service.

I did not like the design for the memorial when I first saw it. However, as time passed, I think it has become a very fitting memorial.

Please never remove me from your ping list Sam. ;-)

In honor of all Vietnam Vets who were never properly welcomed home, I hope you enjoy this song.

Thank you for posting this, Sam. Your efforts to support the troops have gone unnoticed by many.

I didn't have the chance to properly thank you for all the work you did at the Canteen, so I'm taking this opportunity to thank you. You have always thought about the troops and your heart has always been on the right causes. God Bless you Samwolf for your honesty and integrity.
