Comments: With the exception of my father, I am the only veteran in my family. Fortunately for both of us, we were able to serve during peaceful eras. It has been brought to my attention, however, that our goverment is about to turn its back on all of our POW/MIAs, and I am truly ashamed. I have read so many first hand accounts of what our courageous countrymen have done and sacrificed in the name of liberty, that I can't bear to let this issue rest with me. I am beginning my active involvement in the issue, and it is my eternal hope and prayer that we can finally bring them home, ALL OF THEM! Semper Fi!

Comments: Freedom Fest is known as one of the finest family-oriented veterans events in the country. Veterans and their families come from all over the United States to get the 'welcome home' they didn't get when they returned from Vietnam. Skidmore is the smallest town in the nation to host The Moving Wall, and we have had it 3 different years. This year's event will be our 13th. The theme for Freedom Fest 2000 is "Captured Eagles", honoring our POW/MIA's. For more information check out our web page, or e-mail Carla at crwetzel@netins.net.

Comments: I need to find anyone who remembers a crash on 2 Feb 68 carrying 5 men from B Troop, 1/9th, 1st Air Cav. Div. On board was Spec 5 Joseph Puggi. I have been searching for him or his remains for many years. Need to locate Ron Arsenault of same unit. Pilot. Last known address was Mineral Wells Tx. Also on board were pilot Don Burnham, Joe Pringle, Charles "Bud" Adkins, and Ken Patton. If you were with the "Blues" and went to crash site in May 68 to recover what little remains there were, (including one of Pringles dog tags), or know anything at all about these men, please, please contact me ASAP!!! The crash occured from a flight (huey) from Camp Evans, destination Chu Lai. The other chopper flown by William (Bill) L. Clark arrived without incident. Burnhams crashed on the top of the penninsula about 12 miles N. of Da Nang. Gov't can't seem to find the correct coordinance. Thank you for your help. lest we forget....Suzy

Comments: Im am college student and an ROTC cadet. I am doing a paper about the lack of patriotism people my age have. I was just surfing for info on some war related websites and happen to run across this one. I believe the bad wrap the Vietnam War received caused many people to loss respect and faith in their country. If even a small percent of the troops who are still thought to be held captive in Vietnam were returned home, I believe a new light could be shed on this "national disgrace."

Comments: Freedom Fest is a "Welcome Home" to all veterans that is held each year in Skidmore, Missouri. This will be our 13th year. The dates are September 8,9, and 10. This year we will be honoring the POW/MIA's. Our Theme is "Captured Eagles. In past years we have had as our guests, Sammy L. Davis, CMH, Col. Tom McKenney, Earl and Patty Hopper, Adrian Cronaur, Danny "Greasy" Belcher, Rev. John Steer, and a host of others. This is one of the finest family oriented veterans events in the country. Here the veterans get the 'welcome home' they so richly deserve. If we help just one veteran, then our entire event is a success. Also, Skidmore is the smallest community in the nation to host The Moving Wall, and we have been honored to have had it in our community three different years. For more information, please log on to the Freedom Fest Web Site.

My sister and I never got to talk to dad about his service days. I was six and my sister was two when dad returned home. Gretchen and I watch all of the documentaries about the Vietnam war that are put on The Discovery, PBS and The Learning Chanel. So that we can understand what dad and the rest of you Veterans went through while you were there. There is a documentary tonight on The Learning Chanel about the women soldiers that went over there. It's on at 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. God Bless You All!!!! and Thank You for your sacrifices that you endured so children like my sister and I could growup up if a free country.

Comments: Great site! I especially like the "Real" China Beach photos. I was at NSA, DaNang in '66 & '67. I was the Radioman on the YFU 67. It was a cargo craft that could travel at blistering speeds up to 18 knots-if the wind was with us. One night we actually had to turn around and return to DaNang Harbor...the wind was too strong and we were going backwards-with all three engines full ahead. We carried cargo, ammo, personnel, etc. from DaNang to Hue and Dong Ha. I wonder if anyone has ever heard of Tiger Island, in the South China Sea, just north of the Cua Viet River mouth? We had gone to far north that morning (December 18, 1966)and exchanged rounds with an NVA shore battery. They had artillery and mortars, we had two 20mm machine guns (and small arms). Nothing serious hit us and we did make it back to the Cua Viet. The photos of Tien Sha, Monkey Mountain, Bridge Ramp, etc. brought back some memories. Any photos of the White Elephant in DaNang? A point of interest - Roger Staubach (Dallas Cowboys) was stationed at the White Elephant in DaNang during that time ('66 &'67). I never saw him, but I heard a lot about him. Thank you! Great site!

Comments: I have just watched the War Dogs do :-) entary and I am moved by the devotion the handlers and dogs had to each other. I think that the inhumane way the dogs were treated by the US government after the handlers were sent home is yet another one of their shameful incidents of the Vietnam War. These were animals not equipment and deserved more than officials who decided their fate are probably able to comprehend. I have been to the War Dogs website and I cannot understand how a memorial for these "unforgotten" heroes can be refused. However, I hope that you are successful in finding a site for this memorial.

Comments: YOUR SITE IS FANTASTIC I'm an ex RAAF brat ,my dad was in the airforce ,and I grew up hearing about the Vietnam War from his friends who were there. The way they'd talk about those days (The heat ,the smells ,the apalling conditions ,the friendships made ,and those left behind) ,have made a lasting impact.........I don't know if we should have been there or not ,all I know is that every soldier who went should have been treated with respect and dignity on returning home......It makes me so sad the way Vietnam Vets were treated........I will never forget your sacrifice ,nor will my children...

Comments: I'm a 36 year old high school American history teacher trying to find a film clip on the death of a T.V. reporter killed while doing an interview of a GI in Vietnam. The reporter stepped on a land mine while walking along interviewing an American soldier. The terrible tragedy is captured by the camera. I regret to say that I don't have any other information at this time, but I am just beginning my search. It was suggested, if not recommended, for viewing by a Professor at Arizona State University while I was taking a graduate class on the Vietnam War. I am also pursuing that lead as well, but have been told that the library at that college no longer has the film. I would appreciate any information anyone would have on the subject, or connection to anyone who might know where to acquire that information. Thank you very much for your time and efforts.

When you've known a guy since you were both 4 1/2 years old, you'd think I'd know where he disappeared to.
