The war still continues for the people of Vietnam
. . Contributed By Cecile Trijssenaar On Tuesday, April 13, 2004
Dear Sir/Madam, I wonder if you could help me and the Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange? My colleagues and I from the British - Vietnam friendship society have been trying to raise awareness of the Vietnamese people who are still suffering as a consequence of the dioxin found in Agent Orange that the US sprayed over South Vietnam during the war. I appreciate that the issue is contentious but babies are still been born with birth defects in the grandchildren of those that fought the war. The dioxin is very likely to have affected the DNA. And there are huge pockets of land where dioxin has gathered and made its way into the food chain. So the young people today are consuming poisonous food, as a result of the chemicals sprayed 35 years ago. We are supporting a class action court case that has been bought about by 5 Vietnamese victims in New York against the chemical companies responsible. In this way the innocent victims may receive some compensation for the aftermath of the war. To this end we have started a petition to present to the courts. We have nearly 20 000 signatures and we would like to make at least 200 000. We can do this with your support. Please will you help us by signing the petition at: http://www.petitiononline.com/AOVN/ and informing your friends, colleagues and associates of this cause. Thanking you in kindness, Cecile Trijssenaar BATTLE'S POISON CLOUD www.tambutifilms.co.uk

How can you get a name on the wall
. . Contributed By Brent Finseth On Wednesday, April 14, 2004
I have an uncle who passed away in the summer of 2000 from lung cancer that was caused by agent orange. Two days before he passed away he recieved a check from the government and since he was on morphine he wasn't able to sign it, isn't that ironic. I am wondering who I can contact in regards to getting his name put on the wall. If anyone has any info about it that would be greatly appreciated. Vietnam cost him his life and he should be honored along with all the vets who gave their lives protecting our freedoms. Thank God for them all.

LOOKING FOR ANYONE WHO KNEW LEE CHESTER ADAMS, 2BATALLION 9MARINES GULF DIVISION. HE WAS KILLED APRIL 19, 1968, IN QUANG TRI, VIETNAM. HE WAS FROM MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN. HE ATTENDED WEST DIVISION HIGH SCHOOL ANS PARTICIPATED IN THE UPWARD BOUND PROGRAM AT UW-WHITEWATER. HE WAS MY FIRST LOVE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM. HE IS ALWAYS IN MY HEART. I'VE OFTEN WONDERED HOW HE DIED IN VIETNAM. TODAY WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE SEEN HIS NAME FROM THE WALL AND IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES REMEMBERING HIM BEING IN A WAR AND WONDERING HOW HE DIED. ONE DAY I SHALL MEET HIM AGAIN. HE DIED NINE DAYS AFTER MY 17TH BIRTHDAY, AND WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED. THE WONDER OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HAD THERE BEEN NO VIETNAM WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME. HE WAS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD. HIS LIFE WAS JUST BEGINNING.

Thank you. I'm a college student who knew of Vietnam, but never truly learned about Vietnam until very recently. Thank you all who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to those who were blessed enough to come home. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you did and all that you endured. Peace and healing to you and your families

Jose Travieso

My husband's father served in Vietnam in December 1967. He wasn't there very long when he was MIA.My husband was born January 9th, 1968. His father was found February 6th, 1968.They never got to meet each other. The only military information I have on him is from his tombstone. It says, Jose A Travieso, PFC Co A1 BN, 22 Inf 4 Inf Div, Vietnam, May 15,1946-February 6,1968 and on the very bottom it says PH. If you knew him we'd appreciate any info. Also, what do all the letters signify, including the PH? Thanks so much.

Searching for someone or knowing someone
. . Contributed By Terry Boone On Sunday, April 25, 2004
This is an excellent site to look for someone or find out if someone knew your person. http://grunt.space.swri.edu/lostfnd.htm Please make your post and have as much information regarding your post about who you are looking for or about. Sites like this and others only help answer questions that need answering. Also, I would recommend that you post a picture to the men and woman that died in Vietnam on all Wall sites, let everyone see the Face with the name on the Wall so they can see what these individuals sacrificed their lives for and then look at them and tell them Thanks.
