Hello, and welcome to my History Lesson..
A dear friend shared this letter with me, from
a fellow Veteran, and Masonic Brother..

After reading, it, I felt something, inside..
As much as I hate war, I know we must do this..
I also realized, that what he was saying was true.

I am a proud daughter of an Korean Marine Veteran.
I know that what all of them went through..
In my generation it was the Vetenam war..
I also know the Hell that they lived through,
and continue to live through..

So I felt it necessary to include this letter
in my personal web site, and with my
"Tribute To America!"..

I will apologize if this letter ofenses anyone.
I believe you know how to click the X box...

To My Fellow Americans, and our Armed Forces
every where, I give you.. what I call ...
"America's Cry To Her People!"...

This Handsom man is my Dad, Clifford Ray West!.

Each one of us, his children, recieved
from the "White House".. And a grateful Nation..

Thank you Dad, and all our Veterans, both here
and those that did not come home..
You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten..

A special Thank you goes out to our Vietnam Veterans,
that to this day, NOT been acknowledged as they
should of been. Everytime I see soldiers coming home from
Iraq, I think of the homecoming they came home too.
And my heart hurts..

Please join with me today, and if you know a Vietnam
Veteran, Please tell him/or her "Thank you!" For if
were not for them as well, you and I would not have
the freedom's we have today!! In fact, just hug a
Veteran.. Please don't ever take your freedom in this
Country for granted..

I would also like to include, the many "Heros"
that lost their lives, that "Black Tuesday"..
We will NEVER Forget!!
It will NEVER be in vain!!
Semper Fi!
