[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 1507432, member: 839"] I know quite a few who, fortunately, have not forgotten that generation. My husband did a job, a few years ago, for a retired Army Ranger Colonel. The Colonel wanted a walkway through the center of his yard, towards a large circle comprised of 3 smaller circles. Within each circle is a flag pole. The center pole being the tallest @ 30 feet. The tallest pole flies the flag of the USA, pole on 1 side flies the POW flag and the 3rd pole flies the flag of the state of Va. In front of the flags is a granite 'monument', and on top of the monument is a bronze 'statue/sculpture' of a pair of combat boots, w/rifle standing and helmet hanging on the rifle. The plaque on the granite has the purple heart "logo", above that are the insignias for all branches of the military. Above the insignias it states "All gave some & some gave all" and below the insignias is written "Dedicated to those who gave ALL in Vietnam. May God grant unto them eternal peace." Colonel Bill did this to honor the memory of the men who were in his charge/unit, that died in service, while in Vietnam. He has it well lit, at night. Each year, people stop by his house and lay flowers, wreaths, its really quite touching. [/QUOTE]
