On 1/27/2013 at 2PM, a ceremony to mark the 40th Anniversary of the signing of the Vietnam Peace Accords will occur. The Veterans Task Force of Northwest Florida will be setting in place a “Memorial Plaque” at “Oaks by the Bay Park”, located in St Andrews. The plaque will honor all the men and women who so proudly served our nation during the Vietnam conflict.
Everyone, along with many Veterans organizations, have been invited to take part in this ceremony. Placement of the plaque is in honor of the many Veterans who did not receive the recognition, honor, and respect that they so deserved after proudly serving their country during this period. For those that wish to participate please be in place at the park no later than 1:45 PM.
” Lest I keep my complacent way I must remember somewhere out there a person died for me today.
As long as there must be war, I ask and I must answer Was I WORTH DYING FOR?” [Eleanor Roosevelt]
I am a grandchild of Colonel William B. Nolde; the last official combat casualty of the Vietnam War. Are you aware that his legacy has been continued on through his children’s service, grandchildren’s service, and his legacy foundation? I established his Legacy Foundation, The Warriors Roadtrip Network Foundation (WRTN); a registered non-profit | 501(c)3 tax exempt organization which honors Vietnam War Era Veterans and current Veterans for their service and sacrifices.
WRTN creates road trips that provide therapeutic serenity for Wounded Warriors, Veterans, First Responders, and Children with Special Needs, to enjoy with their families.
I encourage you to learn more about WRTN and visit the Official Website of Colonel William B. Nolde.
Sincerely,
Michelle Nolde-Pease
