You are not forgotten.





Though it was a nearly steady rain, about 8 members of Veteran's Combat Assoc and some Shamrock MC rode their motorcycles from as far away as Swanton and Derby to be present at the 25th anniversary of the Vietnam Memorial. One die-hard from the Vietnam Veterans NE MC rode in from Maine!





Gov. Jim Douglas made a very nice (non-political) speach:


Thanks to Bill Wolf and his color guard that came from NY. This was a nice touch:


Reading of the 113 names of Vermonters that died in Vietnam:




It was a very nice service. This lady laid the wreath during the ceremony.




Despite the rain, it was a good turnout. My guess would be about 100 showed up and stood in the rain and chilly fall weather to remember all those who gave so much and all those who have yet to come home. A special thanks goes out to Marion Gray and the Vt Fallen Families and to Charlie for helping spread the word about this little known event.
