Thank A Woman Who Served In Vietnam Project On The Virtual Wall ®

Thank you to those who sent "Thank You" email letters.

More than 400 letters were distributed to women
who served in Vietnam and attended the
10th anniversary celebration of the Vietnam Women's Memorial.
Each of those printed letters was a collection of 5 or 6 email notes
we received via the "Thank A Woman" project.

One sample email note is displayed below.
We plan to publish more of the letters and photographs of some
of the women with their letters on this page after Veterans Day.

Letters were distributed November 9-11, 2003.
The women expressed thanks for the letters but we
reminded them they are the ones who deserve our thanks!

Examples of email letters we received and distributed.

To any nurse who served in Viet Nam

Possibly you may have been the last one to speak to and help our son in Viet Nam before he died from injuries received in battle.

If this was you, thank you and may God Bless you always. He was a young marine, wounded once and sent back to the front and five days before his 19th birthday, he stepped on a land mine and died a few hours later from his wounds. I am grateful you were there to comfort him in his final moments of life and that he was not alone.

Again, thank you.
A still grieving mother who can never forget.
