    Patriot of the Month, January 2003


    I was born in San Diego my Dad was US Navy. He spent twenty year serving our country. He is a Vietnam Veteran. We moved to Ohio where my Dad was stationed to nothing but shore duty. Then we moved to Buffalo NY where my Dad retired in 1978. We lived there until I was thirteen. We then moved to Indiana to be closer to my Grandpa. I have been in Indiana for seventeen years.

    I have been on with most of the people on the Vietnam Forum for almost three years. They are some of the best people I have ever talked to. I was introduced to the first History Site by a guy that went by Deer Hunter. He saw one of my post that I had replied to just randomly going through sites about the Vietnam War. It has always been of interest to me.

    I can?t tell you how much you all mean to me. My favorite way to say it is...

    "Just want to thank you all for everything you gave for me. To those who are not with us any more may you rest in peace and we will see you again. To those who are still with us may God Bless each and everyone of you as you have my heart. Thanks again"

    Love you,

    Tina
