The Boys We Left Behind.....

The Vietnam war was an ugly war!
Some came back wounded, others whole,
yet others....too many....did NOT RETURN!

We MUST NOT FORGET THEM!!!

We must bring them back to be buried in their

own country...the country they died for!

I wear 2 POW/MIA Bracelets-
One is in honor of

Marine LT Ronald James Janousek

Marine LTC Vladimir H. Bacik
