''We Will Never Forget''

Veterans Day 2012 | Vietnam Veterans Memorial | Arlington Section 60

Veterans Day was a bright beautiful almost warm fall day with lots of ceremonies. Spent some time with my Veteran brothers & sisters at 'The Wall' then on to Arlington and visited with many of my Gold Star family friends.

Then a special guest arrived and I got the opportunity to ask him if our POW Bowe Bergdahl is still alive. Mr. President “Is Bowe Bergdahl Still Alive” and his response was “You know, We know he’s Still Alive, Were still trying to get him Back, It’s a Priority!”

'In Memory' plaque was created to pay tribute to those who died as a result of the Vietnam War, but who do not meet Department of Defense criteria to have their names added to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Every year there is a ceremony to pay tribute to these men and women who sacrificed so much for their country. During the 'In Memory' Day ceremony, the names of all the honorees are read aloud. At the conclusion of the ceremony, certificates bearing the honorees' names are placed at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The tributes are collected by the National Park Service and stored in a permanent archive. In addition, the honorees are included in an 'In Memory' Honor Roll Book to serve as a lasting reminder of their service and sacrifices.
