An open request, Help if you can
. . Contributed By Chaplain Howard Flexer On Monday, May 22, 2000
I have visited VA hospitals and found that the prices our Veterans have to pay for little things like sodas,coffee,snacks Etc.are too high from those local venders. I ask you to contact them in your hometown and ask them to give our veteran a break. If anyone of us should get one they do! I find that they are in need of everyday things like Shave cream,tissues,stamps,writing equipment. If you can help take alittle time out and do what you can. I bring all those things when I go to show them that we do care and did not forget them. God bless you for helping. Chaplain Howard Flexer

Thomas Andrew Guenther, with love, your family
. . Contributed By Mandi On Tuesday, May 23, 2000
I never met Tommy. He was my father's cousin. I always looked up to him and his fellow soldiers. I always wished I could have met him. He was a piolet of a helicopter and crashed Feb. 14, 1970. He was only 19 years old and still had his whole life a head of him. Just like many of the other soldiers, it was tragically taken from him and left his family with much grief. I wanted to say thank you to all the soldiers who fought in Vietnam. We love you Tommy and the rest of the soldiers. Love The Family

May they know that you live for them in all you do.They are proud of you, as you are of them. Know that if they were here now, that friend for life you'd have. In death that friend you'll meet again.
