In an effort to continue the welcome home Vietnam veterans deserve I will begin publishing here some of the stories of memorials contained in Warriors Remembered. The book is still available, but I have not been able to reach nearly as many Veterans far from Houston as I would like. Hopefully this new effort will gain broader traction. If you like the stories, please forward them to veterans, friends and relatives who may not be aware of the book. www.warriorsremembered.com
Help Needed with Vietnam Memorial Catalog
List of 1000 Vietnam veterans memorials is now posted on Warriors Remembered website. Need your help in completing this list of all Vietnam memorials in the US. Click your state on the US map. If your memorial is not listed or has errors, please use the Submit page to send a description, location and photos. With your help, we can create a catalog of all of the Vietnam veterans memorials in the country, complete with directions to visit them. Also take a look at Warriors Remembered, the photo documentary of 100 memorials with their stories.

Warriors Remembered — Days of Remembrance
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.
