I opened my web-based mail tonight and could NOT
believe my eyes!  I found the awards below.
These awards mean more to me than words can ever say.
They are not mine, they are for the men and women who
I honor on these pages. 
I will accept them and keep them safe and hopefully,
one day I can give them to either the men and women 
themselves or a family member. 
As I am putting this page together, once again
the tears run.  Tears for all who have lost someone to war,
for those who have yet to have their loved one return
home and for those who are home and were never given 
a proper thank you.
My tears are also for my brother and thousands of
others who, because of war, will never be the
same again. 
I thank you for these awards.  But it is I
who honor you and your patriotism!
With Love,
Carla
 

Thank you LadyJ for being
the American you are!
You are a shining example of all
that is good in America!
 

Thank You Bill!
This award is so very special to me,
it is in honor of the brother
that I once knew and the brother I 
now have as a result of Viet Nam.
He is and always will be, my brother
and I love him!
 

Thank you again Bill!
I make this promise to you,
I will NEVER give up the fight!
NEVER!
 

Thank You Judy!
This award is not as you say 
"so little for so much,"
this award is a huge 
part of my joy!
God Bless!
 

Thank You Sgt. Fats!
It is I who salute you!
You have honored me
when no honor is due.
Please accept my
heartfelt thanks
and deepest gratitude.
