Wisconsin XXII

I wonder if Joan has followed along and seen the tremendous impact she has made upon this site and the many, many vets, and others, who frequent it?

For those who don't know, Joan stumbled over this site and sent me photos of a traveling Vietnam War tribute circulating through Wisconsin. Over the months I have posted a number of photos from the exhibit.

Sadly, I have lost contact with Joan and wonder if she is well. Her email address keeps bouncing back as "undeliverable." So, I have no way to reach and thank her, again, for her generous contribution.

Below you can see a few of the others who have added so much to A Means to Heal and I hope you will be moved to join them and do the same.

Today, a few more of the heroes from Wisconsin:

These are pictures of pictures of pictures so they may not be up to the very finest in photographic quality and I will never be able to pay tribute to all of the lost from Wisconsin, or probably anywhere else, but those who pictures I can find will be so honored here.

Next time, on December 13th, we will return to  Arizona, so join me there, as usual, at 9:00 am.

To see 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, Colleen from Pennsylvania, 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.
