When we put our memorial in, we also brought in 2 155’s a Huey and an F-104. We went all over TX retrieving this equipment and the parts to reassemble and paint. All the money to do this came from Vets, all the time and labor came from Vets. 8 months after completion, they were vandalized. We immediately went back and stripped and repainted all damaged equipment, and from that point on there has been a guard on site 24 hrs a day. Those guards are all Vets and all volunteers. We wouldn’t have it any other way. What’s amazing is not all of us are Vietnam vets. The returning Vets from Afghanistan and Iraq stood up and volunteered without being asked. We don’t need the Presidents help, nor would we ask for it. This is our memorial and we’ll be here 24/7.
