I want to thank you for all the services you and your troops put into the vietnam war. You will never be forgotten. Most of all I love you. Ann Dean
You served proudly, and we are proud of you!
Lt. Lyden was my father. Before he left to go overseas he was seen holding me (3 months old) in his arms in my grandmothers side yard. When she went out to see him. He said "I'd gladly give my life, if I could make this a better place for him (me) to grow up in." It is the last thing she remembers him saying before he left. He didn't make it back. His airplane 'Vivian Girl' crashed on his 5th mission. My grandmother, who is 98, still remembers those words.. and the love he had for his family, his country, and freedom.
We miss your special smile, but we know you are in a better place. Thank you for your service to our country.
For my dad who served his country in the Army Airforce during World War II.
you'll alway's be our hero dad
Thanks for serving in Vietnam. Thank God for keeping you safe and bringing you home.
May all those who lost their lives be remembered forever.
Juergen was a German immigrant who became a United States citizen, and proudly enlisted in the U.S.Air Force. He wore his uniform with pride and grace,always remembering his childhood in war torn Europe, and vowing that his children would be protected from the horrors of war that he had witnessed as a small child. He was "Proud to Be An American"
Please remember all of the Veterans that are in Castle Point Hospital and all other Veteran Facilities around the states.

Thank you for offering to protect our country,leaving behind a wife and two children, age 5 and 8. Giving your life at 29 in 1945.

David and I grew up brothers until he was adopted. At the age of 11, saw off and on few times and he even came back and lived with us again, but things were not the same and he moved on. He stopped back by before leaving for Nam and I didn't see him again until the fall of 1990. At that time we talked about old times and we made plans for the up coming Holidays.. He told me about his problems left from Nam and I didn't reach out and a week before Christmas he took his own life. I would like to pay Tribute to him for going and doing the job that our country asked of him. And I only hope that all of us back all men and women who serve our country. We may not agree with all the things our country asked of us, but some of have no chose. War kills in many ways. So Dave thanks love your brother Don...

You served selflessly from June 23, 1949 until July 1973, enduring the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War and continued to serve your country in civil service for another 20 years as an instructor and finally a Master M1 tank troubleshooter. You've given me a wealth of history with stories that have become priceless, and have given me the opportunity to live abroad and travel extensively throughout Europe. I will never forget when you visited me in May 1988 in Germany and we traveled to the Luxembourg American Cemetery on Memorial Day in hopes of finding your brother's final resting place. The moment you found Uncle William's name engraved upon the wall honoring the soldiers lost in battle during WWII is a moment forever etched into my memory. Thank you for all you've given to all of us.....you are my hero Dad and I love you lots. Your daughter, Kelli
My Dad fought in the Korean War. During this time he, as many others, willingly gave up their youth to assure mine. To which I will always be proud to say I am a daughter of a veteran. I prize the freedom that my Dad and his fellow veterans alloted me and stroll the land that they fought to keep safe.
Thanks to my grandfathers,both fathers and my Uncle David I live in a free country. These men did not die serving their country but they all served in war time. What I have today,yesterday and tommorow are all because a vetrean gave of themselves unconditionaly. They are all my heros living and in death. Thank God for the men and women who serve our country so that we civilians came live in a free land. Thank-you for the tears, sweat and blood you shed for me. Your daughter, granddaugther and neice, Tiel
You are a wonderful friend and we love you. We honor you this day and thank you for serving our country and our God. Your Brother & sister in Christ, Billy & Connie
My dad served in WWII. I know he was in Germany for awhile. He came home safe, and is still living, but is showing signs of senility at age of 72. He got out of Army at age 19. He served his country and protected it when it needed him, and thanks to him and ALL VETERANS we are living in a free world. He is one of my heroes, as are all the men and women that have given time out of their lives, some gave their lives, and some gave up their own peace of mind-so we could keep not only this country free, but also protecting other countries in their times of unrest. I salute you all!! And Dad I love you!!! Connie
A hero during conflit and during peace. A good man is always a hero. Betty

He left home a child, barely 18, spent his first Christmas away from home in Vietnam. He came back home to stay after two tours, alive but changed. Never again able to view things in the same way, unconfortable in crowds, looking for the sound of an "eggbeater",
a loner. A quiet man, he has seen so much violence, he can not commit any. He is my husband. I thank him for the gift of his youth, that he gave to this country and all the people in it. He served 17 years before he was medically discharged, and he would go back in today if they would let him. He loves "his" Navy so.

I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY GRATITUDE TO ALL THE VIETNAM VETERANS WHO SERVED AND I SERVED WITH. ESPECIALLY ALL THE 'FIRST CAVALRY TEAM'. I AM PROUD TO BE YOUR BROTHER. MAY OUR CHILDREN NEVER HAVE TO FACE WAR AND GO THROUGH WHAT WE DID.

IN HONOR OF OUR BROTHER, DON SPRINGER, FOR SERVING HIS COUNTRY DURING THE VIET NAM WAR. WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM.
BROTHER, JIMMY SISTERS, NORMA, SHIRLEY, VALDA, KATHY AND DEBBIE
God. Family. Country. He died for these ideals and so that we could pursue them in peace. No braver man has walked. His integrity serves to teach us all. His grace remains in our hearts and continues to inspire and influence us. He loved fearlessly and lived honestly. He will live on forever to fight the injustices of the world and to protect the innocent from the evil.
We miss you, Daddy. Someday we will be a family again - we count on you to help us find our way home...as we always have.
We love you.
We miss you Dad and we are very proud of you.
To Franklin, I never got to meet you because you never came home from France. To Samuel, you came home, but changed, still the funniest. To Paul, you came home from Vietnam to a crisis at home, the loss of your beloved wife in a car accient. To Charlie, the best cook the Air Force ever had and the second funniest brother. And finally Joe, you saved a General over some silk wallpaper. You all have made my life so much better, I'll never forget sitting at Grandma and Grandpa's and laughing till my sides hurt. Thank you all for everything, this wonderful country and this wonderful life.
My brothers and sisters. You are the greatest. May God bless you for the sacrifices you have made over the years. Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a privilege serving with you.

Dear Dad, Even though you have been gone from me for 20 years now, I want to personally thank you for you Army service years from 1941 to 1945 to insure that myself and my brother and my step-mother and all other Americans were kept free. I also want to thank my daughter,your grandaughter, Connie Harris for putting in 17 years in the Navy, and my brother who is deceased now for doing 4 years in the Navy, plus many years in the Navy Reserves,his name Jack McCall also from Pasco, Washington. Thank you, my family for doing your share for family and country. From your daughter, mother and sister of all of you. All of our service women and men have made a difference. Keep up the good work. Mary Schoonhoven
To my grandfather, my uncle, my son's father, and to my fellow service men and women. I am grateful beyond words to all of you for your sacrifices, your love of family, honor, and duty to country. Ours is a special kinship, the depths of which are known only to those who have served in the armed forces. Our families have supported us, longed for us, and cried for us. For those of you who have gone before me, I thank you. And for those who have fought the battles, and have left us to meet their maker, we will miss you, and you will forever be in our hearts and fondest memories.

The best step-father anyone could ask for. He served in Korea and in Vietnam three times. He loved his country then and loves America today. He believes in respecting the American flag the old-fashioned way. He believes that every American veteran should be saluted for serving our country and defending our rights and the rights of others. He does not believe that this country should take any privileges from our veterans if they serve two or twenty years. He served his country for 20 years and my mother and I are very proud of him. Bob, we love you!
Sgt.1 st Class, 2 yr remaining and a Hero everyday in our book, stationed at Ft. Lewis Washington.
My brother, Edward Aronson, at the age of 25, gave his life in World War II, and I would like to pay tribute to him, and to all the young men who went to war to save our country. No one had to force them to go, they willingly went and risked their very lives so that this great country of ours could remain free for us and for future generations.
My father has passed on 3 years ago now. He was a great man. He never tried to show off his achievments. He was in World War II and served for our Country. After serving our Country he went on to work in the Space sytem and participated and helped by adding his time to The Space Program. He worked with Gemini I and Gemini II and Mercury and Apollo missions that resulted in landing men on the moon. I am very proud of my father. May his achievements never be forgotten. Mitch W. Llewellyn
To my big brother who has given me a hell of a mold to follow. You are a great soldier, commander, dad, husband, brother and friend. Without you I'm not sure what or where I'd be. Thanks.

George was a B-17 radio operator during WWII. His plane was shot down during it's eighth mission. He papachuted safely from the plane, but landed in a POW camp, Where he was beaten by the guards after he hit the ground. He escaped twice from prison, the last time being sucessful. I am proud to have him as a friend.

Every day is Veteran's Day to me. I have the pleasure and great honor to work in the NOLA VAMC Pharmacy. I thank each and every one of "my" veterans for their sacrifices: the time away from home and family, their youth, their healthy bodies, and even the ultimate sacrifice, their life. I enjoy every day that I am allowed to help show the veterans exactly how much we appreciate them. Jackie Maine USNR
My Dad served at the end of the Korean War and during the Viet Nam conflict. He was a lover of God, family, and country! Our hero passed away on June 21, 1999, but he will forever live on in our hearts. What a great tribute. Thanks so much!
You gave your life one early morning for us to survive and live in a free world. You are missed by us all. When U were sent to Viet Nam, little did we know that God would take U home. U were so close to him and I know when the bullet hit he was holding out his hand for U to grab it and walk with him through the promised land. So Claud we are still proud of U and we think of U often, but we know that we will see U again in a land where you don't have to fight for our freedom. Our Guardian Angel U are missed
Thank you for protecting us and for your bravery and courage.

Our four brothers served in the WW11 (3 in the Navy & 1 in the Army). Though we were small, we recall Pearl Harbor Day because we had a brother there and our family spent that Sunday praying. Our window banner had 4 stars-the most in the neighborhood(we kids were very proud of that). This was the war that literally saved the USA, as we were actually threatened on our home ground. Hats off to all you guys! The three sisters

Thank you Kevin for choosing to help keep our country safe. You are part of a courageous and selfless bunch. We are so proud of you. Love you! Heidi
My father served in the US Navy for over 20 yrs in the Nurse Corps. You fought your own way, Dad, in keeping the soldiers alive and healthy. You taught me how to take pride in this country so many take for granted. Thank you, Dad, and we love you! Brandi, Mando and your Jake-Bob
Mando, For 4 yrs, you stood guard in the Marine Corps, protecting and keeping watch over us and others, without our realizing it. We took for granted our safety and protection, never really questioning who gave them to us. And now you serve as a police officer, once again standing guard and keeping watch. I only hope that our son will also have your dedication and courage to protect and serve with pride. We're so proud of you and we love you! Brandi and Jacob

Pops, An accident put a halt to your time in the Marine Corps, but we know that the 4 years you served were done the way you do everything: with pride, with courage, and with complete dedication. Even after 35 years, you remain true to your Corps. We just wanted to say Thank You for reminding us how much we have to be thankful for. And as always, Semper Fi. Love Mando, Brandi and Jacob
We are proud of you! Thanks!
We are proud of you! Thanks!
You have not been forgotten.
You served your country in Viet Nam and came home to face the night terrors that stayed with you. Your life that once held such promise was cut short when your heart gave out at a young age. Now we understand.
Vernard was one of the first to be killed in the Viet Nam War. He served his country with bravery and left behind a loving family who continues to mourn his passing.

To my husband, my sailor, thank you for serving our country and setting an example for our daughter.

I want you to know how proud I am to be the wife of a US Sailor. I love you.

Grandpa you are sadly missed and thought about every day!!!!!!! I Love You!

Kevin, you died doing what you believed in. You had so much promise. It is still difficult to believe that you are gone. Desert Storm only took a few, but with the loss of you it took the best. You touched many lives, and are missed by so many. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you Dad
Thank you Luv {{{{{{ Mark }}}}}}}}
Tom is my grandfather. He died in July 1999 from cancer. He left behind his World War II stories, and memories that he shared of the Navy and his ship, the USS Cowpens.
My brother volunteered, without hesitation , to serve our country. He served in the Marines and saw action on Iwo Jima in World War II. He never talks about it and only says that it was something he had to do, as many others did. I am so proud of him.
From the time we met in 1986, you were a hero to me. I often thought of your time in Viet Nam as a Marine and I still do.
But, you remain a hero to me in a different way - on the battlefield of abused women and children, you fought in the trenches for six long years. Despite all else, you will remain a hero to me eternally.
Proud to have 'served' with you,
JoJo
Carlton Fillmore Thank You for serving our country and for your sacrifices.

No matter how famous he was with the American people in the entertainment business, he didn't let his popularity keep him from serving his country. No matter how famous a person may be, he should take pride as being a true American. He was a true American to serve his country as he did.
Each person that has served in our Armed Forces has given a part of themselves to make our country what it is. To each and every person that has served before me and to those that will serve after me, I thank you.
Who Served to Protect this Country. We are proud of each and everyone of you.
He fought in the Vietnam War and I'm glad he came back safe. He's my brother, my friend.

Joe served in the Marines in VietNam from 66-67. He died of cancer in 1997, possibly Agent Orange-related. He was enthusiastic about the Corps for the rest of his life. I loved him dearly; he was my husband. Joe, thank you for all you did for our country. Now you are finally WELCOME HOME.
My father served in the Navy in WWII from 1942-45. He served on a mail boat in the Pacific and never saw combat. He was more than willing to do that, but at his age was considered too old for the most demanding assignments. He was worthy of honor for his service, of course, but also because of his attributes as a man; he was kind, honest, funny and very loving. Thsnk you, Daddy, for your service and your life.
Thanks Mike not only to help protect our country, but also for being a wonderful father.
Love, Erik
My hero is my buddy and one of the best friends anyone could have, Bill Akins. Bill and I served together with MCB 71 and did two Seabee tours of Vietnam together. Bill was wounded in and attack at Phu Loc in 1968. We remained friends for the last 30 years. He was a great family man with 3 children and a wife that he loved so much. Bill died in April of this year, suddenly...he will be missed so very much, but never forgotten....thanks Bill for being my hero and friend........Cupo

My DAD as in the Navy,he probably didnt see much combat but he was there to help his country,he lost a lot of buddies in battle,iam very proud of him.
My father fought in WWII as a Tanker, Armored Division under General George Patton. He was injured quite intensively, being 100% disabled veteran yet he never let that keep him from raising four children and working every day of his life until his death in 1985. He spent over 5 years in the hospital because of his wounds and reconstruction. But it was his bravery and stamina that prompted me to spend three tours in Vietnam from 1966 thru 1968 in the 1st Marine Division. Thank you father for your devotion and your character building. Your Son, Norris S. Pendergrass Jr.

He Served His Country
RICHARD SMITH WAS A MAN WHO BELIEVED STRONGLY IN HIS COUNTRY. HE FOUGHT IN THE KOREAN WAR WITH THE 2ND INDIAN HEAD DIVISION, 38TH INFANTRY. THOUGH THE STORIES HE CARRIED WITH HIM TO HIS GRAVE DIDN'T HAVE HAPPY ENDINGS, HE WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. ONE OF HIS FAVORITE SONGS WAS "GOD BLESS THE USA" AND WHENEVER THE FAMILY WAS TOGETHER WE HELD HANDS AND SANG THAT SONG. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE, YOUR STRENGTH, THE LOVE OF YOUR FELLOW MAN, AND YOUR COUNTRY. RESPECTFULLY-THE PROUD FAMILY OF RICHARD L. SMITH SR.
For fighting in the infantry and defending our country, I will honor you with all due respect. My children are free today because of all the men who fought for this country and I for one am grateful.
You were gone while I was growing up because you were fighting for our country. I missed my big brother, but know that you were doing what was right. Many of the younger people today have forgotten what patriotism is all about. Thank you for defending our country and making this a safer place for our children. I am glad you are my brother. Love, Cris
Always my hero and knight on a white horse

Uncle Jim landed on Omaha Beach with the 29th Division on D-Day. He was wounded and captured 6 days later and spent the rest of the war as a POW. He was beaten, starved , and forced to work outside during that bitter winter of 1944. I never understood why he wouldn't talk about the war until I came home from Vietnam. I only hope I was half as brave there as you were on that beach and in that POW camp. I'm glad I told you that you were my hero before you passed away. You really were, and still are my hero. I love you , Uncle Jim.

My grandpa Randolph is so wonderful to me and if I had the time when I get older I want to start a fund for all the veterians and for all the people that gave their lives to me and all the people in the whole world me everyhting to me.I am so honered to be alive right now and I would like to thank all of my friends that have done alot for me. People in the world should be thankful for who they are and for what they have did to pay their tributes to all that they have given to our lord.God changes things in peoples' lives and have changed some of my friends lives.One of my friends that go to school with me have had a rough life and when school started dhe went to the counciler and asked her how she could get out of her house and be put in a shelter because she and her family had problems all her life and she just coouldn't take it any more. Now she is in a shelter and she is much happier that she doesn't have to be around people that abuse her and say that when she was born she was an accident. She still has very few good memories and would like to share everything that she has.I will never forget her in my whole life.I love you my friend and all my prayers are with you wherever you go.
Love always, Stephanie

The eldest was in the navy, the next one was in the army (but seen no action) the 3rd (my husband) was in the 11th infantry bde Americal Division and see many battles. All to save their baby brother who went to korea during the war. To me that is heroism and love for your family, the did not know if they would make it but they knew they wanted their brother safe! God bless you all ED, JACK, RICHARD & HARRY thank-you for fighting for what you belived in the most , god your country & family. my love always Brandy
I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY THAT MY HUSBAND IS NOT A VETERAN, BUT HE IS STATIONED IN KUWAIT AT THIS TIME WITH CO-C, 1-153RD INFANTRY, 1RST PLATOON. THIS IS OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS APART AND I FOUND THIS WEB SITE VERY TOUCHING. THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO ALL WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND THOSE THAT STILL ARE. MY THANKS GOES OUT TO ALL THE VETS.

Thank you John for making our world a safer place. Tess Abreu
He earned his "Gunner's Wings, and then his Navigators Wings. He flew in B24's (Liberators) with his crew of 10 during WW2. They all died when his plane crashed defending his country against its enemies. After all these years, we still miss you.
Ted entered the U.S. Army in early 1942 during WW2 and served as a "Medic" during his four years of service. His dedication to caring for our wounded servicemen, saved the lives of many that were under his care. What higher honor could a soldier earn than saving the lives of his fellow warriors? Ted passed away in 1994.
Ted entered service in the Army in early 1942. He was trained as a "Medic" to care for our wounded warriors. What greater honor could a man earn than saving the lives of his wounded buddies. Ted passed away in 1994.
Ted reported for duty in the Army in early 1942. He was trained as a "Medic" and sent to duty helping the wounded and dying. In some way it was sad, but in others he was rewarded by his efforts. It takes a certain type of hero that brings hope and comfort to the stricken so they might survive. My brother Ted was that type of soldier. Good job Ted. You earned the approval of many. Ted passed away in 1994. Alan Goldner
I am very proud of my husband. He was in the US Army, stationed in Germany and served a short time in Vietnam. Thank you, my dear husband, for protecting our country and making it a safer place for our children and grandchildren to live...I LOVE YOU!!!!!

THIS WAS WRITTEN BY BILLY JOE KILLED IN ACTION, DAU TIENG, VIETNAM OCTOBER 2, 1969
WAR IS..........
IT IS A MANY A CUT AND PAINFUL BRUISE WHICH NO OINTMENT EVER SOOTHES.
IT IS MONSOON RAINS WHICH NEVER QUIT, AND THOUGHTS OF HOME THAT JUST DON'T FIT.
IT IS CLIMBING CRUEL MOUNTAINS ONLY TO FIND TWO IN FRONT FOR EACH ONE BEHIND.
IT'S THOUSANDS OF INSECTS OF VARIOUS KINDS WHICH DEPRIVE HIM OF HIS PEACE OF MIND.
IT'S BOOBY TRAPS AND PUNGI STAKES, LEACHES AND MUD AND DEADLY SNAKES.
IT'S COLD C RATIONS EATEN IN HASTE, BUT REST ASSURED, NONE GOES TO WASTE.
IT IS THE CONSTANT STRAIN OF STAYING ALERT, OF TRYING TO SLEEP IN MUD AND DIRT.
IT'S UNWASHED FATIGUES, BUT DOES NOT SPARE, HIS DRINKING WATER IT'S OFTEN RARE.
IT'S LONG LONELY NIGHTS FILLED WITH FEAR, WITH EVERY SENSE ASKING "IS CHARLIE NEAR?"
IT'S TREACHEROUS TUNNELS AND CLOSE QUARTER FIGHTING AND ENDLESS PATROLS TO KEEP CHARLIE FROM HIDING.
IT'S A VIOLENT AMBUSH, QUICK AND CRUEL, TO PLAY OUT THERE IS THE CREED OF A FOOL.
IT'S CATHOLIC MASS NEAR A BEAUTIFUL CREEK, IT MATTERS NOT WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK.
OTHERS PRAY IN A NEARBY PLACE, RIFLES IN HAND, GET FILLED WITH GRACE.
IT'S MISSING HIS LOVED ONES WHO WAIT IN FEAR, AND YEARN FOR THE DAY HE'LL FINISH HIS YEAR.
IT'S BRAVE MEN BECOMING STRANGELY QUIET WHEN HEARING OF A STATESIDE ANTI-WAR RIOT.
IT'S THE SUDDEN STILLNESS THE JUNGLE ASSUMES WHEN A BURST OF SIX SIGNALS HIS DOOM.
IT'S THE TERRIBLE AGONY WITH WHICH HE IS FILLED WHEN HEARING A COMRADE HAS JUST BEEN KILLED.
IT'S THIS PRAYER HE RECITES TO HIMSELF EACH NIGHT.
DEAR GOD, I DIDN'T ASK TO FIGHT AND I DON'T KNOW IF WHAT WE ARE DOING IS RIGHT. I PRAY THAT TONIGHT WON'T TAKE ME IN DEATH, I PRAY THAT AT DAWN I'LL STILL HAVE MY BREATH. AND WHEN, IF EVER, THIS WAR IS DONE, PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE ME WHO SHALL SAY, "DEAR GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?"
REST IN PEACE BILLY JOE, YOU WAS VERY SPECIAL. I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOME DAY. A VERY GOOD FRIEND, JEANIE POSEY MCCARTHY
THIS IS IN MEMORY TO MY FATHER. MR. JAMES E KING. I will see you again, when I join you in heaven, with our Lord Jesus Christ.
PROUD IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY My son, Paul is now serving in the US NAVY and I am proud of him, for continueing to serve the greatest country in the world. I thank you my son, for being there to keep our nation a safe place for all. With much Love and admiration , Momma

Now serving in Kosovo! Psalm 91 He that dwelleth in the secretplace of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be they shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee..... He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone..... He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
