"Let
every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay
any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend,
oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of
liberty."
From the
Inaugural Address by President John F. Kennedy - January 20, 1961
 "If you are able, save for them a
place inside of you and save one backward glance when you
are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not
ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not
have always. Take what they have left and what they have
taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call
the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle
heroes you left behind."
Major Michael O'Donnell, Jan. 1, 1970, Dak
To, Vietnam.
O'Donnell, a helicopter pilot, went Missing In Action on March 24, 1970
during a rescue attempt. His remains were returned in
1995 and identified in 2001.
