Very touching!

Welcome home to all of you Vietnam Vets! I'm very proud of your service,

God Bless!

I am an Aussie who has stood beside that wall in 1996. It is as sacred as any church cathedral and I still choke up whenever I think of it. Bless all whos' names are on it and the many still alive who still carry the scars, both visible and hidden of their sacrifice. Regards to all

God Bless Our Veterans,Troops, Military and Gold Star Families! It is because of Great Veterans' Organizations that the returning Soldiers are able to return and recover with their Comrades and Patriots Support! All Veterans need to become more actively involved with the organized Veterans' Communities! It is through a show of #s and strength that more effective changes can be achieved!
We Honor All that you have Sacrificed in tribute to preserving Liberty and Freedom! We leave behind our Tears of grief at our Sacred Memorials for the obvious costs for Freedom! Every American and resident of this Great Nation owes a huge debt of Gratitude towards our Service Personnel and their Families. Thank You is just the tip of the iceberg! Legislation to enhance and improve Benefits and Services is paramount! Appropriate funding for these programs is a NO Brainer! If we are to remain effective with our National Security, those who stand in Harms Way should be Respected, Valued and Cared For! They are after all this Nation's most cherished Treasures!
May every one have a Profound, Blessed Veterans' Day and may it be a day of Peace and Healing!

God Speed!
I am also the Military Order of the Purple Heart Auxiliary, State of Illinois Patriotic Educator!

LEST WE FORGET their ultimate sacrifice

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE, never has, never will be...

IMHO, had WE THE PEOPLE allowed our Vietnam Warriors to complete their mission, there never would have been the "Killing Fields of Cambodia" or the horrendous losses in "Re-education Camps" or the plight of "Vietnamese Boat People." Strictly MHO...

Amen Major, amen sir !!

I'm fortunate to live close enough to visit the Wall often. And every day I drive past Arlington Cemetery. Being around these two impressive places is enough to make anyone pause and give thanks to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and to remember too, their families and friends who have suffered their loss. The Wall is really special. Anyone who has the chance to go should do so.

God bless our Vietnam vets for a job WELL done in battle!

Supporting the American engaged in the War in IRAQ & Afaganistan means more than sending packages or saying so. Its means caring for the same Troops when thet return, after they return
at the request of "WE THE PEOPLE".

It means above all else caring for these people.
Who will Support The American Veteran, that is
Question. Who will, because we really havn't

Well met my very good man. As a two time Viet Nam Vet, Dong Ha, both trips, 108th Artillery Group and the 8th Bn, 4 Arty (A composite 175 gun and 8" Battalion)All we can do to continue the acceleration of the knowledge of the "lost war" is well worth the effort. I speak to high schools in the metro Portland, OR and suburbs. Most are in awe as to what we did. Keep up the good work. LTC K.R.Overton, US Army Retired

Support the troops is verbal BS
if the veterans do not receive the support
when they come home
