Customer Reviews
The unspoken, finally spoken...
My father was in Vietnam and like many, did not speak about his experiences. How our men were treated upon returning home from war was and still is unforgivable. ...Standing in front of the Vietnam Memorial Wall brought tears to my eyes and I heaviness to my heart. I can now clearly see how deeply we were all affected by and continue to be affected by one generation who had to painfully endured their suffering in silence. Thank you for sharing your stories and thank you for dedicating years of your life to ensure that our fallen heroes will never be forgotten. ...You too will never ever be forgotten ❤️
