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

Vietnam Mystery Memorial
October 7, 2014 by
Fascinated by the Vietnam mystery memorial on the Continental Divide near Saguache, CO? Here is the video if you missed it.
Discovered by dirt bikers whose viral video added to its mystery, but well known to the Forest Service Rangers in the area. Its creator picked a location accessible only with some difficulty. He wished it to be known only by word of mouth and then only among veterans who would appreciate it. Over the next few weeks I will post the real story of this warrior tribute. #Vietnam mystery memorial #SOLDIERSTONE

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

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.
