I volunteered to join the US Marine Corp in June '67...In Dec '69 I found myself in Vietnam. I was a 20 year old Marine Corporal and have never been more scared in my life. I had just left a bride of only one month and was 10,000 miles away from everyone that meant anything to me. I didn't know why we were fighting in "The Nam" but it wasn't my duty to ask. I was a Marine and I was ordered to go. I saw things there that no one can ever believe unless they were there themselves. I love the Marine Corps and I love my country. I understand that the protestors of the Vietnam War were making a noble effort to end the war. What they didn't understand was that they demoralized the human spirit of those fighting in Vietnam. They made us feel like second class citizens when we returned home and stepped off those airplanes and ships. As an American, A Marine Corps Sgt and a Vietnam Veteran, I say WELCOME HOME GUYS, JOB WELL DONE!! I want to dedicate this page to the Veterans of all wars who have served their country honorably. I dedicate it to the fallen warriors. You are missed and not forgotten. Thank you for your service and your dedication. A special thanks to Billie for her untiring efforts in looking at so many links & hundreds of pictures....for her unselfishness in giving of her time & patience in helping me get my thoughts from inside my heart and transferring them to a web page......Thank You....143 |

I want to thank Jimmy for giving me the opportunity to create this page. It has been a very emotional venture. I want to thank all veterans and service persons for putting your lives on hold and on the line to protect my freedom. For those who lost their lives protecting our freedom I hope you can hear me..... Billie
