Ive marched in Memorial Day parades long before I joined a service organization and have had the privilege to host the services the last five years for our VFW Post 44 Clifton Springs, N.Y.

Memorial Day is a time for reflection and remembrance, for all those who served and are serving. Here in Pendleton, OR, we had two ceremonies in recognition of all veterans and active/reserve duty service personnel. Personally, I served in the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam, 67-68.

Having served for 27 Glorious years and am still supporting the troops as a civilian contractor. I am not only Honored but humbled on this day. The Motto of the Viet-nam ERA was We came together and we will all come home together Is burned in my memory forever. Although we have fallen comrads that were left behind, WE will not let their sacrifice or memory be forgotten. Memorial Day is a day of rememberance and humbleness for the FREEDOM we all share. May God Bless this Country Forever. Respectfully, DCC Langford USN Retired.

As a Vietnam Marine Veteran I spend a quiet day at home to honor all fallen comrades. I fly two special flags that were flown over the capital, One for a close friend who I grew up with, graduated high school with, were in the boy scouts together and were Marine brothers. The other flag is for my Marine brother who I had the great honor and privilege to escort home to his final resting place. One flag flys from 6am to 9am and the other 9am to noon at half mast. At night we light candles and say a prayer for all fallen warriors who gave their lives to protect our freedom. Our flag flys 24-7-365 to honor all who gave some and some who gave all. God bless the USA and God bless the Marine Corps
