It mattered not what history would reveal.
We had no expectation but to serve where duty called us.
We asked for no reward except a nation’s thanks.
Every memorial is unique and has its own unique story. Years of research have given Albert Nahas a perspective to make each memorial come to life with details and anecdotes most visitors would not uncover on their own. Excellent work for all war veterans.

Albert Nahas has persisted on a journey that has taken years and thousands of miles in order to compile the material for Warriors Remembered. His stories and photographs will inspire any veteran and are a special gift to Vietnam veterans. Warriors Remembered is a treasure for anyone who has seen war or been affected by it. You can tell it is written by a warrior who has "been there".

I strongly encourage any one with an interest in the Vietnam War and its aftermath to read this very moving and inspiring book. Our society finally began to remember the soldiers of the Vietnam War. Warriors Remembered captures the memorials, their stories and the feelings of that period in an exceptional manner.
Jan C. Scruggs, Founder and President

.....................
For years after the end of the war, the Vietnam veterans' quest for recognition for their service and the sacrifice of their fallen comrades went mostly unheeded. Recognition finally began, led most often by their own brothers in arms. In a tremendous personal undertaking of excellent photography and story telling, Albert Nahas has completed an astonishing collection of one hundred of the resulting memorials. The last line of his poem says it all, "We asked for no reward except a nation's thanks." This Vietnam veteran has made it his personal mission to bring that "Thank you for your service" to every veteran. Like the memorials themselves, Warriors Remembered is a long overdue Welcome Home for all Vietnam veterans.

Memory by Albert Nahas Mar 12, 2011
I was preparing a copy of my book Warriors Remembered for Jack when I heard of this terrible tragedy. When writing the book, Jack was extremely helpful in sharing his story of the memorials at West Point and The Wall in Washington, D.C. and also in recommending others to me for their stories. I really could not thank him enough for his contributions to Warriors Remembered, but more importantly for all that he did over a lifetime for Vietnam veterans. His pioneering effort in building these two memorials set an example for many others throughout the country.
Jack's loss is felt by every Vietnam veteran and every member of the Long Grey Line. Jack will be missed by all who knew him and by all whose cause he championed. He was truly our nation's servant.
Jack and his family are in our prayers.
