When I first saw this HISTORIC Memorial, I was ever so thankful; my eldest Bro., a real Jarhead, active Truck driver & Bugler in The Marine Corps Band during the Vietnam War; who along w/his best bud were able to return home, after Tour's of Duty in the late 60's. Unlike my 2nd elder Sister & 4th elder Bro, who both enlisted in the Navy & have since, passed on to glory, bless their hearts! And Bless God, for His incredible love & tender forgiveness that surpasses all of our own understanding; reaching to the highest Mountains & lowest Valley's; via the Blood of Calvary! I've been thinking of our many soldiers today & made a $ donation to the 🇺🇸 USO.., in memory of all the sacrifices they are making for us right now! Their families 😢 & homes, while we enjoy Life & Freedom, everything they risk their lives for every day! I pray that, God bless them! Everyone of them! Be w/them Lord protect them from the attack of the enemy! Speak love & peace to each of their lonely aching hearts, souls & minds Ó Lord! And let Your Face shine on them, keep them safe in Ur Right hand Father, for Ur name sake! I ask these things in the holy name of Jesus!...

I gazed at the statue once more through my car windshield before departing, filled with a heavy heart. I found myself praying for the souls of those who fought and sacrificed their lives in the conflict. I hope they have found peace, and I want to acknowledge that, as Vietnamese, we will never forget the soldiers lost to the war, regardless of which side they were on. Their memory lives on in...
