I wish you all a happy and healthy Memorial Day. Yes it's our day too as well as the guys
and girls we left in and around Viet-Nam. I understand from the Man above that the
weather will be great for the annual Annapolis Memorial Day Parade which will begin at 10
a.m. We will all meet at the intersection of Amos Garrett Boulevard and West Street. The
parade will move down West Street to Main Street to the City Dock area, where we will
take part in a memorial service. Please keep in mind our vet brothers, sisters and there
families who did not come home like we did, and please also keep in mind those who did
but never got over it. I ask you to say an extra prayer for past chapter presidents Bob
Caswell and Ed Peckman, for the loss of their loved ones who passed away recently. Come
and join us in our parade, fly the colors high and keep your head high and thank God, that
we are from the best country in the world. We will be joined by Annapolis Mayor Dean L.
Johnson, the Jewish War Veterans, the American Legion Post 7, the Vietnam Veterans of
Annapolis, a past class of the U.S. Naval Academy. Some of the other participants
will include the Naval Academy and the Maryland National Guard bands, as well as honor
guards from the participating veterans groups, U.S. Boy and Girl Scouts and many others.
Many VIP's will take part to the tune of bagpipes and I know my heart will be beating a
little harder maybe my eyes might be moist and my mind might wonder to the rice patty
where I was shot through the neck. .. .I know I will be proud to be with you for our trust
in GOD lets us know that our comrades are with us. . .all of them, close. See Old Glory. .
.God bless each and everyone of you and your families..GOD BLESS AMERICA.

As you all know as Gods children it takes a lot of faith to feel real good about
yourself. Now we have had Passover and Easter and hopefully saw the light but what does it
mean to us as a group? As a group such as Chesapeake Chapter 712, VVA . . .First we start
with ourselves (one each). Someone in the chapter told me that I was not special. I told
him "Yes I am, and anyone who served in the Armed Services in the Vietnam war and
came home back to the USA is special". Better yet as far as I know all Gods children
are special to him, and really is it not what both Passover and Easter is all about?
