This letter and picture was left for one of these Soldiers by his Sergeant. It says that he went to visit his mother, as promised, and that he would never forget that day.
To all the Veterans of all wars, thank you. Thank you for our freedom. Thank you for loving this country enough to fight.
To my husband: You're my hero. I love you.

Wonderful pictures! Thank you to you and your husband for the sacrifices you are making now for us.
Renee,
I cannot let this day end without telling you thank you for the sacrifices that YOU make being a single parent while Frank is overseas. My husband travels a lot each month, but the most he is gone is two weeks at a time. I've read your blog for a while now, and just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and your family, and pray for your safety, your children's safety, and Frank's safety often (as well as bringing individuals before Him as you ask us to). Thank you for being the support you are to Frank while he serves our country and protects our freedom. Thank you for YOUR part in serving our country.
Also, please pass on to Frank a thank you for serving our country. I try very hard not to take for granted all that the soldiers and their families do for me, my family, and my country.
THANK YOU!
Thanks for the pictures - must say this post made for a teary start to my day! Watched the Memorial Day Concert on tv and it was almost too hard to watch... anyway, I'm with canusa mom and Leigh Ann... thank YOU (and Frank of course, but this is about you LOL) for all that you do.
Renee,
The Vietnam Veterens Memorial has special meaning to me. My father and two uncles served in Vietnam. I was able to visit the memorial the summer it opened. That visit marked the first time in my life I heard my father speak about Vietnam. It left a hollow feeling inside me to watch him look up the names of friends who did not return home and then locate them on the wall. Several years later my cousin visited the memorial on her senior class trip. She took a random photo of the wall. After having the pictures developed she showed her father (one of my veteren uncles). Right in the middle of the picture was the name of one of my uncles friends from Vietnam. Thanks for sharing your visit with others.
in Him,
Dawn
