Title: Vn. virtual Wall

VIETNAM WALL....THIS IS AMAZING


First click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the city and the
names will appear.

Then click on their names. It should show you a picture of the person,
or at least their bio and medals.

This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and
effort to create it.

I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who
served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.

The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during theVietnam
war with the names, bio's and other information on our lost heroes.
Those who remember that timeframe, or perhaps lost friends or family
can look them up on this site. Pass the link on to others if you like.

Sorry to hear this Major!  Tough way to grow up, but a proud heritage.

Reminds me of this story from the paper this weekend:

Frokjer slipped off and quietly married Leslie Jaroscak on Nov. 3, 2010, planning a bigger celebration later. She didn't like NASCAR as much as her husband, according to Frokjer's family, but she loved to snuggle in front of the television with him.

"She was the missing piece of the puzzle in this perfect life," said his sister.

Leslie is pregnant with their first child, whom they decided to name Eli James. The baby is scheduled to be born Sept. 28.

"This is what he wanted. He wanted her to be pregnant before he left," Arlene Frokjer said. "It's like he wanted to leave a legacy with the love of his life."
