I WAS SIX YEARS OLD WHEN WE LAID YOU TO REST, A dAY I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FORGET. I still see your coffin each time I hear taps as I attempt to keep tears from falling in my lap. Although I am all grown up I still miss you so very much, longing each day for one more touch because the last time I saw you just was'nt enough. I love you Daddy. I would like to talk with anyone that served with or new my father.

Reflections
. . Contributed By J. Marvin Hart On Wednesday, May 23, 2001
The Wall There beyond the grassy knoll A figure stands alone Head is bowed, eyes are closed All thoughts are far from home. A gentle breeze moves through the air I listen to each word The figures lips are quiet and sealed Yet voices can be heard. Come closer press your hand to ours I hear so many say We want to ease the pain you feel Draw close to us this day. We know your hurting deep inside We feel your heartache too Though gone but not forgotten We are here to comfort you. There is no anguish on this side For us there's no regret Our one request remember us Lest all the world forget. In the jungles and the rivers Each of us once fought and swam Then one by one grew silent In a place called Vietnam. We watched you board the plane for home And wept each time you cried It was for us, there was no doubt Apart of you had died We tried to breech life's barricade Sought ways you'd heed our call Then someone found the answer And engraved it on a wall. Soldiers, Special Forces Airmen, Seamen one by one When each name was etched in stone We knew that you would come. There is no way you could resist This place we now abide, We knew if you'd but touch the wall You'd bridge the other side. And find behind each honored name Fifty thousand yes and more That we are looking back at you This no one can ignore. Come closer, listen, others speak A diamond by their name Their presence can be seen and felt Their voices are the same. They too gave all that they could give Their memory but a haze The men and women lost in time They are the MIA's. For those who fought and yes survived Both friend and foe were they We bid them come and touch the wall Together we will pray. It doesn't matter who you are Or where you might have come If you'll press your hands to ours Together we'll be one. And as each tear falls to the ground Upon this hollowed place The healing process will begin With God's redeeming grace America she's all we've got There is no greater land Our families we have left with you Their future in your hand. To care for them who we still love There's no one else to call But you alone to lead them now To us behind the wall. Julius Marvin Hart jr.

Charlie was a bright person with a wonderful future. He was killed after being in Vietnam only four months. We grew up in a very small town. Charlie was a year older than me and my husband's best friend. I still remember getting the call about his death and the military funeral that is still one of the saddest days of my life. We think of you often, Charlie. God Bless.

Would like to hear from anyone who was involved in the Cambodian invasion of 1970. I am very interested in obtaining a photo of the roof of a building on an outpost, near the border, Painted in very large letters on this rooftop was the legend: "Christ, You Know It Aint Easy". I was with the 9th Infanty Division, on a convoy, delivering supplies to Firebase Jackson inside Cambodia at the time I saw this building.If you have any info or memory of this, please email me. A

Looking for Ship mates of my father. Served on the MSB, USN, BMC Jack Greenwood. It would be good for him to talk to some one that can relate to his experiences. He wont talk about Vietnam, he has supressed memories and hidden emotions.

If you knew and/or served with Patrick Osborne Ford who was a patrol riverboat Sailor during the Vietnam War, and who helped save a number of his shipmates before he was killed by enemy fire? Patrick Osborne Ford was born in San Francisco, California, on 2 May 1942. At the age of 15, he moved to Phoenix, Arizona. I believe he has family in the San Francisco Bay area, because he is buried in the national cemetery on the Presidio in San Francisco. A U.S. Navy ship was named for him and that ship will be visiting San Francisco soon. The Navy League in San Francisco wants to help the ship by locating the family and any patrol river boat vets who are located in the San Francisco Bay Area who served or knew Patrick Osborne Ford, and letting them know that the ship is visiting. Hope you can assist? Nancy Gorell National Director U.S. Navy League - Public Affairs
