Wisconsin XXIII

Once again, I am returning to the wonderful set of photos that Joan sent me from Wisconsin. For reasons I don't know I have lost contact with her. Her email keeps bouncing back to me. I fear she may be not well. I wish I could find out. I wish  and hope that she knows how very much she has contributed to this site and to the many relatives, friends and acquaintances of these lost heroes. They will be forever remembered because of her act of curiosity and generosity. She contacted me solely because she ran across my name and then this site as she searched for an old friend with whom I happen to share a name. Kismet!

Today, a few more from her pics. As I have previously mentioned these pics are cropped out of larger ones she so kindly sent to me, so the quality is not what I would want. But, remembering and honoring these fallen is far more important than whether the pictures are museum quality.

There will be more in the future.




R.I.P. brothers.

Next time, on the 25th of February, we will return to Arizona, so join me there, as usual, at 9:00 am.

To see Vietnam memorials from any state or Canada, Ireland, and Puerto Rico click on the individual names on the left side of this page.

If you are following along at all, you will have seen that a number of you, like Joan from Wisconsin, Tony from Texas, Mike from Maryland, Ron from Florida, Tim from Virginia and Molly from Florida, Colleen from Pennsylvania, and Elli from Maryland, among others, have responded to my request to send me memorials you have seen in your area or where you may have traveled. I even got one from Ireland! These submissions help expand the knowledge of how we have remembered the men and women who served or were lost in 'Nam and you help to honor them. If you have any such photos, I would love to see them. Please send them along to the email at the left and I will gladly share them here. Thanks, once again, to all who have contributed.
