Thanks very much - I was unsure of where to place it.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Hello, and thank you for putting up this tribute to Marines! My husband’s best friend in youth was KIA in the Mother’s Day Massacre. I didn’t know him, then, but I clearly remember that day, and how the leftists and anti-war activists tried to exploit this tragedy to make their case against the Vietnam war. So, here is what is bothering me, now. I wanted to re-visit this page, and put “Mother’s Day Massacre” into the Google search engine. I did find it, but first I got a lot of results for the Mai Lai Massacre, leading me to Wikipedia. When I went to Wikipedia, there was NOTHING on the Mother’s Day Massacre. I would like to request that someone (one or several) qualified persons please create a page for Wikipedia. It really bothers me that there is no mention of the MDM, but multiple pages on Mai Lai. I think that we can all agree that war is cruel and brutish, and regrettable. Sometimes they are the result of poor policy or involve tragic mistakes. Be that as it may, our young Marines were serving nobly, according to their sworn duty, and were slaughtered mercilessly in the rice paddies that terrible day. It was truly a massacre, and it should not be forgotten. This day in history really deserves it’s own page on Wikipedia and those who were not there deserve to hear the story, as best it can be told.. by those who WERE there. Please do this for those who are fallen.. your brothers in arms. Thank you! “Jan”
