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 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

Thank You
Although we have never met personally, I would like to thank you for you courageous service in the Vietnam War. I am part of the Gridley High School Posting Project, and it is our goal for every veteran, on this website to have a remembrance posted. You mean a lot to our country, and you paved the way for us Americans. Thank you for all you did.
Sincerely yours,
Jessi Ortega

Thank you
Dear Sir,
As a sophomore in the world history class at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois, I am currently involved in the Gridley High School Posting Project. The students have been assigned to leave remembrances to the soldiers who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. However, I could not be more proud to have this opportunity to thank you for your efforts and courage during the battle. You helped in ensuring freedom across the lands of foreign countries, and also fought for the country that you loved. You inspire me to also show a commitment to my homeland and show support like you and so many of your fellow soldiers did. Thank you for being a role model for the future generations. May your life never be forgotten.
