I guess things are back to normal around here since Bill came home so here I am trying to catch up and not getting very much done. I was busy moving furniture and cleaning and it was a peaceful and lonely Memorial weekend without Bill, but I was determined to spend very little time on here to get some things accomplished.

I think it was appalling the way our Vietnam Vets were treated in the past and I’m grateful everyday for Bill. The Government was the culprit not our boys in the war they were forced to participate in. These poor young men were treated like criminals and I still remember the ones that I knew and how they felt. What a senseless war.

I took some photos below of some things that Bill sent home which were locked away out of sight because everything was shameful for his then wife Judy. He was not allowed to hang anything on the walls as a reminder, but that’s all changed now because I thought he needed a tribute wall for all of his memories, good and bad and a few years back I found all these memories that had been tucked away.

I am not a very good photographer, but I felt like sharing. I will make these thumbnails and if you want to see an enlargement just click on the photo. These are only a few items that I love the smaller ones are on the shelf and I didn’t want to take a 100 pictures, but there are medals, buckles, pins, Vietnam lighters and of course lots of Harley memorabilia mixed in.

The first picture is his memory wall, second is the hand painted Vietnam velvet plaque that says how much he missed Judy, third is the hand painted velvet scroll In Memory Of Vietnam, fourth is the doll he sent his wife and fifth is the throw pillow from Japan. These are only a few that I think are special.
