Comments/Citation Vietnam Wall Panel coords 69W 002 Stephanie Stalker
Dear, Alonzo Carlton Collier, I thank you, for your service, in the Vietnam War, to save, the U.S.A. and all, of its people. I know you, were only 20, when you were, killed. You are lucky that you, was identified, on who, you were and your where bout’s, when they, found your body. People may not know you, in this century, but your name, is, on the great, wall and you were one, of the men who gave, their lives to save us, my great-grand parents, in fact it wasn’t, just me and my family you saved, but you saved, those who, needed you and your army, to help them. So once again, I’m thanking you, for saving thousands, of lives and many more. Sincerely, Stephanie Stalker. May 14, 2008 manny g

You, Sir, Have Not, Been Forgotten! http://www.geocities.com/rememberance004 I had, the opportunity to visit, The Vietnam Memorial Wall. I was so overwhelmed, with sorrow and pain, that I could not hold, back the tears, for those heroes and their families, who lost so much. Though my visit, to the Wall, was a few years ago, I feel, that I left a piece, of my heart there. To honor those, who died, in the Vietnam, War and to say thank you, I created a small tribute, to those heroes. Please click, on the link above, to view, my website.

A FELLOW GRUNT 4900, Westbrook Rd., Atlanta, Ga., 30349, USA They called us, GRUNTS, didn't they? We bore the title, as a badge of honor though. A distinction only, a select group, could claim. You were, a GRUNT. Now a HERO, resting in glory. Your Mother and Father, rest, beside you and there is a place, there too, for your Brother. I found your place there, while walking, at Forest Lawn, Memorial Gardens, in College Park, Ga.. My brother, a Hero too, rests there. He served, with us, in Vietnam, but thankfully lived, a long life, afterwards. A flag flies, on his grave and now does, on yours too, Hero. Sunday, April 13, 2003 NCHS CLASS OF 1966
