I'm a retired MSG U.S.Army from Louisville, Ky who wants to keep your memory alive. You are not forgotten. We soldiers do not question our duty, but do our part to keep and preserve freedom. However! You gave the ultimate sacrifice. It would have been nice to have known you as a person. You forever will be a HERO. We should never let these brave men "Fade Away", their memory and the Vietnam War should never disappear from our thoughts and history.

Thank you
I want you to know how much my family and I appreciate your sacrifice and the sacrifice of your loved ones. My father served in Korean and Vietnam. Because of you and men and women like you our country is the most powerful nation on this earth. I have always been a pound American, never disrespecting the decision our government officials made in sending our loved ones over to a foreign country in order to assist those persecuted by other more powerful governments. I wanted you to know especially on this day, how much you are still loved by this country and especially your family. May God bless your loved ones still here with us, may they know of his eternal love and mercy. Thank you and your family for making this the United States of America a nation we can be proud to call home. We salute you!

**TO HONOR AN AMERICAN HERO NOT FORGOTTEN**
Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid, they have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices. - PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN ~ ~ ~ SSgt Ray, United States Army - Although many years have passed, you are not forgotten this day nor will you ever be. I will forever be grateful for your honorable service and supreme sacrifice that you have so courageously bestowed upon our nation. You will forever live in the hearts of all of those you have touched. ~~~~ I am very grateful and would like to honor all of our Vietnam veterans who have so proudly and courageously served our country. No veteran should ever be forgotten. The veteran who lived through this horrible war, left with everlasting memories and whose lives may never be the same, the disabled veteran who returned with hardships and the pain of that war, the POW/MIA veteran we wait for and whose family and friends are tormented for so, so long not knowing and the fallen veteran who died at such a young age leaving their families devastated forever - all had one thing in common and that was to fight for our freedom, our country - we owe them so much and a thank you is where to begin and to never forget them for their gallantry, fortitude and valor. I salute each and every one of them.

FOREVER REMEMBERED "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....Take what they have left and 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 heros you left behind...."Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces. We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heros lost to the War in Vietnam:Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother. From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers
