I will certainly never forget what all of you who went to
Vietnam gave for the rest of us. Thank you.

Ronnie, Those of my generation will never forget those of you who served in Viet Nam, those who returned and those who gave their lives. Nor can we forget those whose fate is still unknown.
Thank you all for your service to our country in Viet Nam. God bless you all.

Everytime I see the names, or the crosses in the cemeteries, my eyes fill with tears for our brothers lost. I watched "Saving Pvt. Ryan" the other day and in the opening sequence when the old vet is walking through the American War Dead Cemetery in Normandy, the part where it pans across the thousands of crosses brings tears to my eyes. I remember the most poigniant line from the movie "Earn This" and feel it rightfully applies to all young Americans today.

Our fallen brothers gave all of their tomorrows so that we could have today. We who have served are a part of that special brotherhood. And to those young Americans, I can point to all those crosses and say to their youthful lives "Earn This" all those soldiers died for your freedom. Don't let their loss be in vain.

Thank you my brother, for your service to our country, for standing tall when others found it inconvenient to answer the call. A hearty "Job Well Done" from a fellow vet.
