Thanks for preserving our freedom
. . Contributed By MSG Donald H. Pruitt, US Army Retired On Sunday, July 03, 2005
I want to thank two of my favorite people, 1SG Pascal Poolaw and SFC Billy Charles, US Army heroes who gave their lives during the Vietnam War. They were brave soldiers who never lived to grow old, but died fighting for the country they loved. I served with them and have the utmost respect for these warriors. May God bless them and the United States of America.

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2005
. . Contributed By SEMPER FI On Monday, July 04, 2005
Today, patriotism runs high and we thank and honor those soliders in harms way in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many, many Americans wave the flag, many fly the flag in their front yards, many have car bumper stickers of the flag. All in the name of Freedom. All this was not afforded to the Vietnam Veteran on his return. Maybe today, those on the WALL, will be truly remembered as "fighters of freedom". Memorial Day and Veterans' Day are days to remember the veteran, but the Fourth of July is for celebration of FREEDOM. And who protects that freedom, the armed forces and men like those on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Lest we Forget. They gave their all for us.

Also the 194th MP Co. had men assigned to our installation. Please contact, I remember Rollins, Garner (Gardner) of the MPs.

Viet Nam 1962
. . Contributed By Robin P On Tuesday, July 05, 2005
I am very interested to find out about Viet Nam and the US Army involvement in 1962. My father served in Viet Nam in 62 and has only mentioned it to me once briefly. He confirms that he was there and that he would never speak of it again. The details that he gave were very few and I have had limited success searching for info regarding the Army's role in 1962. I am very reluctant to ask my father questions, as he has made it very clear that it has taken much too long to get over and he does not want to speak of it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. All I know is that he was there in a training capacity. I would like to keep his name and rank confidential. I believe he would want it this way.
