in history class we were learning about the vietnam war, and at first i didnt think much of it all, until my teacher showed us a video and talked to us about everything that went on, he then gave us a project to do , look up the name of one person that had died there, and find out about them , and he gave us this website. i got onto it not knowing what to expect and looked up the name of my person jimmie williams, and i was shocked, he was only 2 years older than me, and i just couldnt believe that the info there was all anyone who didnt know this man would ever know about him. i started lookin up other names, and saw people who died on my b'day. and how they died, and it brought tears to my eyes. this was one of the most moving projects of my school life, and i will never forget it, my teacher gave us someone to see if we should ever visit .and i will look up my name, and visit the memorial.thank you to all those who fought and gave their lives in vietnam.

Gone But Not Forgotten

My dad served in the AirForce for 20 yrs. He served in many places especially the Korean War and Vietnam. He came back a changed man forever. He passed away 4 years ago unexpectedly. I now have His Vietnam Veterans jacket which I wear proudly in honor of him and others who has served our country. The one thing I hold dear to my heart is the bracelet he gave me. I still have it and have worn it everyday of my life. The person who I have carried with me in my heart is Spec.5 Berman Ganoe Jr. 3-24-70. I just want his family to know that although many years have gone by I still have not forgotten.I hope if they do see this they will not be hurt or angered by this message.

Last week my family visited the Wall again. No one from our family died in Vietnam but we'll never forget those who did or fail to mourn with those families. I promise to tell my sons, ages nine & three how your father, mother, brother, sister, cousin, nephew, served our nation and the cause of freedom. A grateful America will never forget. My family will never forget. Thank you.

They don't understand.

I have a friend who haas been out of college a couple of years and recently sent me a photo he took of The Wall. I responded by thanking him for the photo. I was really surprised at his response: "I personally hate that place. I hate the the representation of the wastefulness of our government that couldn't decide whether to do or to not do. I hate the loss it represents. And I hate reading things left there. I've a photograph and all you can see is the letter 'Dear Dad'. While I was there . this 16 yr old (About) was crying. walked up to her mom. and said "Why did you make me read that? Why did you do that? You knew it would make me cry". to which her mother responded "Because you need to understand what they did for us" I don't try to think about what I'm seeing while taking photos. I've trained that out to some regards. but sometimes. it still hits you. That was a rough night." I was personally disturbed to see news reports on TV that many young people don't know WHERE Pearl Harbor is. Some even think Pearl Harbor is a person. I wonder how many of them don't know where Vietnam is. Lynn.

I also thank your families. What I am saying feels so inadequit. I do want you to know how much your sacrificies mean to MILLIONS of Americans as well as the Vietnamise and the residents in that whole area of the world. If not for YOU the Viet Cong would never have just stopped with Vietnam. They would have continued on murdering millions. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
