SSgt.Johnson, Jimmy it was forty years ago today that you gave your life for your country. When I visit you at the Wall this year on Veteran's Day it will be with the knowledge that I have had such wonderful contact with your wife and daughter that you read to me from your letter just before your death. Lisa looks like you and she and your wife Linda mourn for you but also now with the knowledge that your men have never forgotten you or your sacrifice. Peace to you Jimmy a Hero from the B Battery Bull's 5th 27th Artillery. I will along with the other men of B Battery, Honor you and our other Heroes on Memorial Day. Your sacarfice will never be forgotten.
Capt. Hank Parker

A letter to my Hero
To my father, even though I never got to meet you, I always lived my life knowing that you loved me. I am very proud that I had a father that fought for his country and in my heart I know that you would have been a great father to me. I have heard a lot of stories from mom about how excited you were that you were having a girl and I feel that I would have been extremely spoiled. I have a friends that wrote and sings a song call 'The Wall'
To anyone that reads this If you would like a copy of this song please email me and I will email a copy back to you.
Dad although I never got to meet you, I love you and I feel you are watching over me everyday and that makes me feel safe and secure. May God watch over our troops and keep them safe.

Soldier's Prayer
This is for all those who have served and died in Viet Nam and never got so much as a thank you! God Bless all of you!
A Soldier's Prayer...
The soldier stood and faced his God Which must always come to pass...
He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?'
The soldier squared his shoulders and Said,'No, Lord, I guess I ain't...
Because those of us who carry guns Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough.
But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here...
They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand.'
There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod...
As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God,
'Step forward now you soldier,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.'
Dedicated To All That Serve... God Bless America |

How nice to see your picture today. Your face had faded but not your name and actions. You were a good soldier and husband. Lloyd and Percy died at Outpost Nora with you on May 17, 1969 and me and some of the B Battery troops, 5th 27 Artillery honored you at the Wall last year. None of us had forgotten you or that fateful day. I spoke to the history classes at Boise High last week about Vietnam and mentioned you by name so it was great to visit the Wall and see your picture. I was your junior officer at Outpost Nora and honored to have served with you. Capt. Hank Parker

A Fellow Veteran and Proud American
***********************************
A Tribute to a true American Hero
This Vietnam Vet is undoubtedly one of the bravest Americans that's ever lived! Never in American history has this nation been so against its military, and it's never happened since. He could have burned his draft card, remained in school or defected to Canada, but he chose to bravely ANSWER THE CALL made by his Nation. Meanwhile the pubic held blame against him and his fellow soldiers for the decisions made by the politicians of the day. This brave individual stood with his fellow soldiers and gave everything he had. His sacrifice then has made America and our freedom stronger. My Fellow Solider, today is the very day you had made the ultimate supreme sacrifice.You gave your life for your country. So many years ago, and so far from your home and loved ones. A fellow veteran pays tribute today to your memory, your bravery, your honor, and your commitment to duty and freedom. Thank you for answering the call. May you rest well in Gods loving embrace Brave Solider. For you Sir ARE a TRUE American hero whose sacrifice has made a difference. Today you are remembered by a fellow veteran and proud American. Tomorrow you shall not be forgotten by a now grateful nation. Because in the rising and setting of the sun, we shall remember you. In the blowing of the wind and the chill of the winter, we shall remember you. In the opening of the buds, the blueness of the sky, the rustle of the leaves and the blanketing of the snow, we shall remember you. When we are weary, lost , and sick at heart, when we have joys to share , we shall remember you. For as long as we live you too shall live, for you are a part of us always. May God bless you and bring peace to your friends, family and loved ones.

Fellow Vietnam Army Vet
MY COUNTRY'S FLAG CRIED the flag bowed it's bars and wept starry tears as it hung at half-mast for a soldier's years. another youth it had called and another youth had died. I stood and i watched as my country's flag cried. it clothed the drab coffin in it's red, white, and blue, silently protecting the contents for the comfort of a few. it brought strength to some, to others, bitter pride. but as mourners filed by, my country's flag cried. as it rode to the field where the soldier was laid away, the flag recalled the pledge that he used to stand and say, but to war he went and to keep that pledge, he tried. as the guns fired their last salute, my country's flag cried. as taps rang out, it was folded with care, for the soldier's soul a chaplin whispered a prayer. he asked god for peace in this world to abide, and in a grieving mother's arms my country's flag cried!
