West Virginia as I am sure I have mentioned before has the distinction of being the state that lost more of its young men, per capita, than any other state.
Today, just a few representatives of these brave warriors.

| Dennis Elwood McDonald |
PFC Dennis McDonald was lost on May 14, 1968, in Binh Duong province.

| Rex Marcel Sherman |
CPL Rex Sherman was killed in an intense battle in the Binh Thuan Province. He was lost on November 14, 1969, and was awarded the Silver Star for Valor.
Next time, on July 7th, we will return to Wisconsin, so join me, as always, at 9 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 (now three) 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 and join the group.
