THE WALL OF FACES

Our deepest appreciation for your service and sacrifice for our country. We retrieved from Vietnam a dog tag which we believe belonged to Arthur Emile Demers Jr. We are searching for his next-of-kin, so we can send his tag home, in honor of his memory. If you are a relative, or know the whereabouts of Arthur's family, please respond to me at my e-mail listed or visit http://www.topvietnamveterans.org/dog-tags.html

FOREVER REMEMBERED

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."

Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.

We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Dear Soldier,
I am from Gridley, Illinois. For my World History class we are doing a Gridley High School Posting Project. We are doing the project because not all the veternans have a remembrance. Our goal is to write all the veterans that do not have a posting. I just want to say thank you so much for making the ultimate sacrafice and for fighting for our country. Thank you for dying in bravery and courage.
May God Bless
