As communists were forcing Asian countries to obey, our valiant high school and college classmates, boys and girls, volunteered to enlist in the military as their ancestors had proudly served. They put on the uniform to defeat the enemy. The enemy was and is communism. As California Governor, and later President of the United States of America, Ronald W. Reagan said, "I fought the communists in Hollywood, and they will not win!" We are America, founded upon the Judeo-Christian roots, capitalists, free markets, following our constitution and freedom. Thank you, Vietnam Veterans, for your sacrifices for our generation and generations to come. We honor you and your service, and we will never forget you and your families, your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren. God bless you, Veteran, and God Bless America!
