15 Oct 2002 REMEMBERED It is a great honor to post this memorial to a neighbor, a school classmate, and a outstanding serviceman whose dedication and sacrifice were testimony and a credit to the finest ideals of Vidor School, and the community of Vidor, Texas. Your life was far too short but you had an impact, and it will show generations to come that you helped to guarantee our freedom, that for every drop of blood shed, countless tears flowed. We all sadly miss you, and appreciate and will never forget your unselfish sacrifice. He gave everything that he could for us. God Bless Him.

30 Jun 2003 I got to know Vanny in Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Polk. We both ended up in Nam (I was in Charlie 2/5 Cav). I was sorry to hear of his death, he was a true soldier and American. From a fellow Skytrooper, Ray Long skytrpr66@aol.com

 

21 May 2004 I am a fifth grade teacher. We are researching all the brave soldiers who served and died in the Vietnam War. It is important that the children never forget those who have given their lives with honor and pride. I didn't know you, but I did know boys like you who served in this war. Thank your for bravely fighting for our country. You will always be remembered as a hero. From Mrs. Schwedhlem E-mail address is not available.

 

13 Dec 2005 I just come across this page on my search for my family history. While I didn't know Vanny personally I feel I have a connection to him from having served in Nam also. During my research I have found many of my cousins who served their country with pride and some have given all to protect the freedom of others! I would just like to add a "Thank You" to a hero who gave all for his country. Until we meet later Rest In Peace Jack Parker MSgt, US Air Force Retired 4600 Hwy 52 S #26 Minot, ND 58701 jparker@srt.com
