Wisconsin XXI

As I write this today, I wonder if Joan, or any of the other contributors to this effort, knows just how much they have added and how much it is appreciated by me and by the many readers of this post who have gained knowledge and perhaps some understanding due to their generosity?

Once more to Joan and all the others, I thank you. I have just recently received a group of pictures from another contributor that I will be posting in the not too distant future.

However, today, a few more faces of the heroes from Wisconsin.



This post falls into my sub group that I call Faces of Remembrance. You can see all of the faces collected by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund's The Wall of Faces here, ( https://www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces/) Most, if not all, states have pictures of all who were lost or are missing from their state.

Next time, on October 30th, we will return to Arizona, so join me there, as usual, at 9:00 am.

To see additional memorials from Wisconsin, or any other state, please click a state name on the left side of this page. Please note that Canada, Ireland, and Puerto Rico have been added to the list.

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, and very soon 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. 

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to contact Joan. I hope she is well.
