YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

NOR SHALL YOU EVER BE

Hi! My name is Crystal Alvey and I am writing this rememberance as part of a History class. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice and putting your life on the line to support this country. Your courage is greatly appreciated. Because of you, this country is a better place. Thank You and God Bless. Gridley High School, Illinois

I am leaving remembrances as part of a class project of Gridley High School, located in Gridley Illinois for random veterans thanking them for the great contribution they have given our nation. I regret that I do not have the time to leave more remembrances for our great men and women, like you, who gave their lives for our country in the Vietnam War. I thank you for your courage and example for future patriots.

I am writing this remembrance as a class assignment for Vietnam War Veterans. I am currently a senior at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois. We are trying to get at least one remembrance for every man/woman who lost their lives serving their country. I felt this assignment would be one that if taken to heart would serve a lot of good, not only to family members but also to admirers and the general people.
