This is the Vietnam Veteran memorial built perhaps 16 or 17 years ago on Milwaukee's lakefront. The 3 pillars represent the 3 Theatres of War: Land, Sea and Sky. The bricks have names on them listing the war dead and those still officially listed as MIA-POW. On this week-end I would like to thank and remember all of our veterans, salute them for their service, and pray for their safety. It is hard to believe that in the not so distant fututre there will be no more veterans of WWII still with us. And a special thank you and recognition is deserved for those who fought in the forgotten coflict, the Korean War. Sandwiched beyween WWII and Vietnam we tend to forget that conflict saw over 33,000 American deaths alone. I also salute all of our men and women in uniform today, including my son who I love, respect and continue to pray for. Rich
