VIETNAM VETS?

AVVA 805 FUNDRAISER AGENT ORANGE AWARENESS

Vietnam Veterans of America, Oregon State Council on facebook

GORBY AT THE LEGION There was a welcome home veterans night in Madras sponsored by the American Legion which I attended as President of OSC. They took time to recognize the OSC and introduce me too. Large group about 300 which about 80 were Vietnam Veterans. They presented each Vietnam Vet a nice coin too.

Me with Patricia White VSO of Jefferson County. Patricia and I were LVER and DVOP with the employment department for years also - a good friend.	Me with Patricia White VSO of Jefferson County. Patricia and I were LVER and DVOP with the employment department for years also - a good friend.

Why I go to my chapter meetings...

"I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell stories or look at old pictures. Not to laugh or weep. Comrades gather because they long to be with the men who once acted at their best; men who suffered and sacrificed, who were stripped of their humanity. I did not pick these men. They were delivered by fate and the military. But I know them in a way I know no other men. I have never givenanyone such trust. They were willing to guard something more precious than my life. They would have carried my reputation, the memory of me. It was part of the bargain we all made, the reason we were so willing to die for one another. As long as I have memory, I will think of them all, every day. I am sure that when I leave this world, my last thought will be of my family and my comrades. Such good men."

Quoted from "These Good Men" by Michael Norman
