Vets site update:  5-11-10

http://www.444starvets.org

Click on the "what's new" section for the "It is a Veteran..." link.  As we approach this Memorial Day, we are reminded of what our vets have made possible for us as U.S. citizens.

Hey Shucker;
Keep up the good work. I am sorry to say I never noticed the Virtual Wall until know, kind of brings a tear to your eyes when you read the names. All of us vets that can read this gave some, they gave all, GOD bless them.
Thanks Brother

Have a great and safe ride Sunday; we'll be thinking of you all.

Now here is a real crime.  Shame on those that allowed this to happen.

Also.....  Eagle Bob sent this Youtube video to me and I put it on the vets main page.  You won't have any dry eyes after watching the video:  click on the link below.
