Memorial day is Monday, 27 May 2019. My wife Sally is a quilter and made me this flag in time for memorial day. I would like to share it with the many veterans that are on UHH and those fallen...I would very much like for you to tell me when and where you served and anyone you would like to honor.
I served in the Marines from Nov, 1967 to Nov 1989.

Thank You

I like the saying on the flag "because of the brave" instead of the usual "home of the brave". USAF Vietnam era vet. vz

This Memorial Day, I’ll remember a young 18 year old army soldier that died in VietNam in 1969. He was assigned to our unit, and compared to combat soldiers in “the bush”, we were relatively safe. We were a fire control computer repair group, and as such, while we had the regular mortar and rocket attacks, ground attacks on our perimeter were infrequent. This young PFC was “gung ho” - he was bored with being on base in DaNang and wanted to get into the fight. So he 1049’d until he was finally assigned to the Americal division (as I recall) as a door gunner on a Huey. Two weeks after he transferred out, we read his name in the Stars and Stripes - KIA. Rest In Peace brother.
