    Go every year, its part of the moving wall memorial.
    Been to the one in DC a few years ago.
    Why you may ask.
    My cousin, Lcpl Ernest Postorino USMC is a KIA from 1968.
    The last pictures taken of him here in the states was holding me at our grandmothers house in Maryland. He was 17 when he shipped out the next day.
    He was barely 18 when he was killed at Quang Tri from a mortar attack.
    In the middle of a card game.
    He was playing with Sgt Harold Zug when hit and both died.
    Every American should make it a point to go to the original wall or find a place that the Moving Wall stops near your home.
    Its worth it.

    bull Johnson wanted a expanded war to further the military contracts and to expand taxes on the us public.

    It has to be one of the most elegant and simple tributes to fallen soldiers on the planet

    Not really interested in your political statement. Its not what the thread is about.
    You wish to debate the merits of the Viet Nam war, start a thread about it.
    But please preface how it affected you or your family.

    So you would just trash someone elses thread with your BS.
    Nice. Oh and my cousin was not an eliteist nor am I or the rest of our family.
    So take your theory somewhere else.

    trashing it? theory? of card deck [video=youtube;vlfozRjEDPY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlfozRjEDPY[/video]
    the art of war concept is not a theory, it is base on one of the most proven books/deck of cards in history.

    Right, but I guess you cannot read can you? I asked you to stow it, and if you want a thread about the merits of the war. Start one, but seeing as you lack the concept of respect. Carry on and continue to look the fool.

    Hey. I served. Plenty. And this ain't a current event. God bless your cousin, and the family that suffered his loss.

    Just ignore this guy. He is an a*s*s hole. This isn’t the place to discuss if Vietnam was right or if we should have fought it. This is a place to give you condolences for the loss of your cousin so many, many years ago.

    Thanks, not really looking for condolences. But thanks anyway, just bringing up a current local event that as it turns out I have an interest in.

    Vietnam memorial is probably the best war memorial because it does not glorify war. It is more somber and reflective of the loss of so many bright futures and the pain and suffering that is left behind.

    But your post is about your long lost cousin, and asking other folks about their experiences. That is not a Current Event. This does not pass the stink test here.

    You have to be a bit smarter with your threads. This should be back in such as the Military sub-forum, instead of out here with a heart on its sleeve, and being upset that others won't follow your template.

    And may LBJ rot in hell because of it.

    note i was in the slow right lane when filming myself on this video, i did not endanger any oncoming traffic on the hwy while video taping myself, i have at lease 5 years on driving experience with no accidents and the truck is a automatic shift there no need to down shift in case of a situation ahead on me, so i didnt have to have my right hand on the shifter at any time, and i choose a lonely hwy with very little traffic.

    Thank you for bringing this up and honoring our servicemen and women.

    I have been to the Vietnam Memorial on three separate occasions, with the first in 1987 when Gorbachev was visiting It is a very humbling experience to see some 58k names who died serving the country. We shold never forget these names in this war or any other war.

    I looked up the visiting War Memoria. home page and their schedule. Unfortunately, the visiting memorial will not come my way, but did come to my hometown in May last year. When it comes again to my town, I will go visit ithe visiting Memorial Wall.

    What you did was the equivalent of testing while driving. It was not safe and your mind was on more than just driving on the road. your saving grace is that the traffic was light from both sides of the highway.
