Montana VIII

 

Some years back, I happened upon a roadside memorial in Dillon, Montana with quite a remarkable story. Take a couple of minutes and check it out here and here.

Today, as I have been doing lately, I want to put a few more faces with names. I have been calling this subset of posts "Faces of Remembrance " and you can find examples throughout these pages, some lost and some not. So honor these from Montana with me today.

I note that this is the same hero honored in Bedford, PA. You can see that post elsewhere on this site.

I did a search of VVMF's Wall of Faces and, happily, found none of these names and while there are still a few pictures missing from the Wall Of Faces, I choose to believe that these men made it home.

Next time, on the 26th of May, Memorial Day this year, we will honor all of the fallen, so, join me, as always, at 9:00 am.

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, Molly from Florida, Colleen from Pennsylvania, Elli from Maryland, and Peg and Ray from Florida, 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 and/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.

I hope all those listed here will encourage you to send along photos.
