Good morning! This is a special day at the Finest, one that daisy and I have been so looking forward to posting. She spent so many hours gathering the information and writing it, along with patriciaruth's guidance and help every step of the way; Mama_Bear was gracious to have patriciaruth mail the certificate to her so that she could scan it and send to me for inclusion, and I got to do the most fun part: putting it all together once the information was given me. Because of the length of the tribute, we've done things a little differently, and our veterans photos are not posted today. They return tomorrow.
I have added several names to this post, and some of you may be wondering why you're getting pinged for the first time. For those, let me say that today's honoree made a special point to mention and thank each and every one of you who helped her with Project Silk Scarves and Project Kosovo Care Packages. She wanted very much to share with ALL of FR the Department of Defense' Certificate of Appreciation that she received for FReeRepublic earlier this year.

In memory of my fellow Vietnam helicopter pilots who were killed in that war the following were lost on OCT 29. God bless them all.
1967 1LT Thomas J. Chiminello -- 57 MED DET, Age 24, San Antonio, Texas
1967 WO1 Forrest D. Rains -- 57 MED DET, Age 21, Columbia, South Carolina
1969 WO1 Conrad J. Wheeler -- D/3/5 CAV, Age 28, San Marcos, Texas
1972 1LT Dexter B. Florence -- D/17 CAV, Age 25, Arkadelphia, Arkansas
Memoriam to 1LT Florence: Died of wounds sustained in action in Quang Ngai, South Vietnam.
Dexter was a hero in every sense of the word. He loved his country, and served it proudly. He was taken from us too soon, as were 58,000 other brothers, sons, fathers. From Dexter's family to the other families who lived through what we did.it is our sincere hope that they all find peace and comfort somehow, that their loved one was indeed a hero, and that there are so many people who DO appreciate and understand their tremendous sacrifices.

Morning COB, thanks for the ping.
To: ladtx
Good morning, ladtx, I agree. When I was reading the draft from daisy, my emotions were running high, thinking of all that patriciaruth accomplished, with the help of her fellow freepers and friends. The reward for everyone's work is the satisfaction that 'they done good' - they done REAL GOOD!! :)
