Thank You
Thank you, James Elkin for serving in the Vietnam war. You were very brave and are honored today by people who didn't even know you, like me. If it weren't for people like you to go and serve, our country would not be the same. So thank you again.

Never Forgotten
Always Remembered
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 all your "Band of Nam Brothers"
