Chuck Jacobson CWJacobson@worldnet.att.net USMC friend 2132 Greythorn Drive Fort Wayne, IN 46805 USA Jose and I went through bootcamp together at MCRD San Diego California. After bootcamp graduation Jose and I were stationed together at Marine Corp Barracks, Long Beach, Cal for almost a year. Jose received his orders to serve in Vietnam in 1967. I was very saddened by his loss. Jose was a great guy with a sense of humor. He loved bodybuilding and working out and was a good Marine. Very sharp! God bless you Jose! Tuesday, June 06, 2000
REST IN PEACE, MARINE sgteseusmc@yahoo.com Nam Vet from El Valle de Tejas Arturo Garza "L" 3/1 '66 & "A" 1/27 '68 Harlingen, TEXAS el Valle DESCANSA EN PAZ DESCANSA EN PAZ, ESE! Rest In Peace, Lcpl. Gomez. Jose Manuel, no nos hemos olvidado y no nos olvidaremos, carnalito. You are not forgotten, ese. Even as years pass, NAM keeps coming back to us. Its been a long time, but to many of us it seems like yesterday. Many from El VALLE are on the WALL with you. Its been 38 years TODAY since you paid the ultimate sacrifice for Our Country. You served honorably and died gallantly in the field of battle. A True Marine, a Hero. WE of LA RAZA were few, but we were everywhere and we fought hard and proud. We gave our all to LA CROTCHA (THE CORPS). Our war was very unpopular and it caused a lot of divisiveness. As long as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall stands and is with us you are among Americans that care. The WALL is a venue that allows us to forgive, but not to forget. WE WON'T FORGET! Semper Fi, my brother. My belated sympathies to your familia. Wednesday, May 04, 2005
Manuel Pino Jr. Fellow Vietnam Vet REFLECTIONS FROM THE MOVING WALL". I am a monument to a black period in this countries history.I am the Vietnam wall.,composed to two angled granite walls,inscribed with the names of fifty eight thousand,one hundred thirty four American men and women who died in hell (that was Vietnam) Many people come to see me. strangely they come mostly in silence-old people,young people,children,mothers,fathers,widows,and veterans.all for reasons of their own.they bring gifts,pictures,letters,flowers,poems and cigarettes.the letters speak of grief and loneliness and regret.they ask forgiveness.they are an out pouring of pain.the people softly touch names on my face.they water my grass with tears.then they leave in silence and I hope in peace.for I am more than two stone walls.I am a thank you from a nation that forgot.I am a long past due apology.I am healing for wounds too long left untended.I am a tribute paid to fallen warriors.I AM THE VIETNAM WALL. "America has forgotten the wars.will she remember her warriors"? you may be gone , BUT YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. Thursday, September 23, 2004
