When Wars Are Fought
The Soldiers Go
To Defend Their Country
Against Its Foes
When The War Is Over
And The Battle Is Won
There Is No "Thank You"
For Daughter or Son
How Can This Be
The Soldiers Ask
We Gave It Our Best
Some Gave It Their Last

Never Forgotten
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 hero’s 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 heros 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

You Shall Be Remembered
I'm from Gridley High School and in my world history class we get to write a remembrance for a soldier who doesn't have one. We want everyone to be remembered. I just want to say thank you for fighting for our country and sacraficing yourself in bravery and courage. May God Bless and rest in peace.
Sincerely,
LeaAnn Ringger
