Thanks so much for posting this, Bowana. Don was a friend.

Tonk or Snow Bunny,

Would one of you ping the vet list to this thread. I wish it had been posted on the main News/Activism side so all would notice.

Thank you in advance and thank you both for your dedication to those who serve and have served, especially to those of our generation who made the ultimate sacrifice in VietNam.

Thanks for posting the Virtual Wall site. I visited and saw some rememberances of my college classmate. There were no pictures of him so I scanned in a photo from the yearbook and posted it. It was the least I could do. He paid the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. Thanks, Bob, and thanks to all veterans, living and dead, who have served our nation so faithfully.

I hope all FReepers took part in the moment of rememberance at 3 pm local on Memorial Day.
