Well if we are lucky, once or twice in your life time you will have the privilege of meeting an extraordinary person. This year, I have met a young lady who is just that, Hannah Ritter from our little part of the world. She has embarked on a project to give a long over due welcome home to Vietnam Vets. As the son of a Vietnam Vet, and a prior service soldier myself, this project has great meaning to me, as it will for all past and present warriors for freedom. She has decided to create a web site where vets can come to reconnect with old friends, tell their stories, send in photos and for her to express her gratitude for a group who received very little when they came home. She has also created a shirt that Deals Gap, as well as many other locations, will be selling. All proceeds will go directly to the VA Hospital system to help with the continued care of all our past soldiers. When she came to me with this idea, at the age of 17, it really gave me a great feeling about our youth of America. That they have not forgotten our past warriors and that Freedom and Democracy is still important to them. That they still understand the sacrifices it has taken and the realization that their generation is currently being called upon to protect those rights. So please help Hannah honor our past and visit her web site www.welcomehome.com (http://www.welcomehomevets.com/index.html).
