National Infantry Museum Honors Warriors Remembered
March 18, 2014 by
The National Infantry Museum has selected four lines from the poem Warriors Remembered for their Vietnam Veterans Memorial replica of The Wall. The National Infantry Museum (NIM) located just outside Ft Benning, GA will dedicate a Vietnam Memorial replica of The Wall this Friday morning, 21 March at 10:00 AM. The 2/3 sized replica donated by Dignity Memorial was previously their traveling wall. Three granite panels will guard the entrance to The Wall and NIM has chosen to inscribe on one panel four lines from the poem Warriors Remembered to honor those whose engraved names tell of that war’s sacrifice. “Some volunteered; others came when summoned. All made the choice standing straight to face the call. We heard the call; we answered with our service. We paid the price for others. Let them remember.” Warriors Remembered continues to be the Thank You for Your Service and the Welcome Home that many Vietnam veterans never received. www.warriorsremembered.com

Warriors Remembered — Days of Remembrance
September 12, 2012 by
We are approaching four very important days of warrior remembrance – two this month.
National POW/MIA Recognition Day is Friday, 21 September (designated as the 3rd Friday in September). This is a national day of prayer and remembrance that we still have thousands of missing warriors who have never returned home. Of the 2,489 listed originally as missing in Vietnam, over 800 have had their remains returned and efforts continue for a full accounting.
Gold Star Mother’s Day is Sunday, 30 September (always the last Sunday in September). Designated to honor all mothers (and families) who have lost a son or daughter in combat.
Veterans Day is Sunday, 11 November. No explanation needed
National Wreaths Across America Remembrance takes place Saturday, 8 December (2nd Saturday in December). An annual wreath laying at all veterans cemeteries that needs support and donations.
Please participate and support each of these important days. Take a moment to honor those who have served and those who have been lost in service to the Nation.

Warriors Remembered to be quoted at The Wall on Memorial Day.

The Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration kicks off its 13-year program this Memorial Day at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The ceremony begins at 1:00 PM Eastern Time and will be broadcast nationally on C-SPAN, FOX, and other networks. Among the materials submitted to the White House for President Obama’s main address were the last four lines of the poem Warriors Remembered found on page 82 and the inside cover of the book and the link to the Warriors Remembered website .
This poem stanza will also be printed on the back cover of the ceremony program as a consise statement of why our Nation needs this Commemoration. It is a great honor for Warriors Remembered to be able to contribute to the beginning of this much needed program.
It mattered not what politicians argued.
It mattered not what history would reveal.
We had no expectation but to serve where duty called us.
We asked for no reward except a Nation’s thanks.
Take time this Memorial Day to remember our fallen brothers.
