Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did
strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning.The brave young men who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran. For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR. This site is dedicated to those brave men and women, living and dead, who did their duty to the fullest in war of attrition we were not ALLOWED to win. We never ran, never abandoned our wounded, never stopped loving America even when America abandoned us ... and still abandons our POW/MIA's.

Mark, a Silver Star for valor recipient, will be sorely missed by
all who were priviledged to have known him. With heavy hearts we
wish his wife and children well and swear to our Airborne God...
"Mark, we will never forget you brother!"
