Proud To Have Served With You
I remember April 15, 1968 and our conversation on Hill 881 South as if it were yesterday. We hadn't seen each other throughout the Tet Offensive but reunited for that brief few minutes and short conversation there on that hill top LZ. You were warm and friendly as each of us shared how we were doing and how we had spent the last several months during the Siege. It was brief, our hello, but I remember how calm you were that day. Your conversation with me was genuine, your smile was genuine. It was a very bright and clear day that day on Hill 881 S. Even after all that had happend there, it's natural beauty had not been destroyed. It was once a battlefield but now a sacred place to so many of us who remember. You seemed very much at peace with the world that day as I know you are at peace today. It was my priviledge to have known and served with you, a true Hero. Semper Fi

I finally got to visit the Wall in 2000 in remembrance of William Matthews aka (Skipper). I remember the times on Uncle Hans and Aunt Dorothy's farm as kids as we would all play at reunions. I remember him so well,I am proud to be a member of his family. I remember his bravery the day of the tornado at the farm in April of 66. I have not forgotten him to this day and never will. Rest in peace dear cousin. Coletta

I had the opportunity to visit The Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC. 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 youŕI created a small tribute to those heroes. Please click on the link above to view memorial website.
