Comments:Your site looks great. But when I clicked on here I was kind of expecting some photos of the people who fought for our freedom. Not the people engaged in war, but people like Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks. Not trying to put you down or anything, this is a nice site and all, but you need to make plain what exactly you have on this site, so people like me, who is making reports would not waste their time.

Comments:Dear Vietnam Vets,
I grew up in Danang. For as long as I could remember, at night the VC would disrupt our lives with artillery shells and other scare tactics. It was your presence that kept them in check. Because of you, I was able to enjoy a safer, happier childhood. For that, I am extremely grateful to you!
Please always remember that what you fought for, freedom and democracy, were worthy and noble causes in my eyes. Because of your work, the seeds of freedom were passed on to me, and I am today able to embrace this freedom and grow to my fullest. What a tremendous gift you have given me!

Comments:On September 15, 1967 my fiance Ronald Eugene Showmaker was killed in Vietnam, he was 20 years old, I was 18. I will never forget his memory or forget all those who died as he did. I always get sad around Memorial Day and Veterans Day. God Bless all Veterans and God Bless America. I am now married to a Vietnam Veteran who served 18 months as a Medic in Vietnam, we have only been married 8 years and only yesterday did I find out from an old newspaper article his mother gave me that he is the recipient of The Silver Star, Bronze Star, Army Comendation Medal and Purple Heart.
He doesn't like to talk about this war but I am so proud of him for his heroism even if he feels ashamed and gulity as I have heard most Vietnam Veterans do, have enjoyed this web page and the information it provides.
