Pat's Comment (Webmaster and Veteran): I want to visit "The Wall" someday. I think everyone should.

Here's a quote taken from http://thewall-usa.com/

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.
Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam
Listed as KIA February 7, 1978

A close friend of mine was a medic in Vietnam. He visited the wall. He cried there.

  • My father served in the Marine Corps during WWII and saw action in most of the Pacific Campaigns. My brother and I both served in the Marines, he for 4 1/2 years and me for 20 1/2 years with stops in VietNam and few more "summer vacation spots". A lot of friends names are on the "WALL" and a lot more that should be on something similar because their 'time' didn't happen to be in VietNam, but definately was while defending and supporting freedom. Some say, "the invisible veteran", but those of us that knew them, served with them, we are unable to forget them, we hear them, we SEE them and are Honored to know that others can get a glimpse of THEM at the Wall. Not just from a name etched in stone, but from the glimpses of and conversations with the "ones who were left behind to share their memories". Semper Fi !! Thanks Mike
