Re: Least We Forget

"It comes with the territory." Is what some, may say But that doesn't ease the pain or the price they have to pay.
Muskie, you and others like you cannot be repaid for the sacrifice and pain you have and continue to endure. All we can do is offer our humble thanks and keep you and all our soldiers, past and present in our prayers every day.

Re: Least We Forget

Thank you NoSleep..A friend who I served with in Vietnam sent me this in remembrance of a close friend we lost on 1/23/1970. I was 19 years young.<br /><br />You see he and I held our friend in our arms as he lay dying after a mortar attack on our unit. I sometimes wonder why I was able to come back and not him...

Wow nosleep, I'm running out of towels here to dry my eyes. :( I passed that on to some people I know who care. <br /><br />Happy birthday gonfsn. :D :D :D <br /><br />Although that doesn't seem appropriate after viewing that.

Nosleep, I too passed that one on to some folks I know. That's the best inspirational page I've seen on 911 to date.
