I thank you all for all your hard work. Les Hines, Dan Gillotti, Buddy Sadler, Bruce Flaherty, Mike Bookser, Bruce Moore, Bill Schneider, Keith Short, Peter Cole, Dave Bowman, Glenn Sheathelm, Larry McDougal, Mike Kelley, Victor Vilonis, Ron Leonard, Al Simms, Charles Seketa, George Heidt,Ron Griffin, Drew Martinson, Doug Young, Larry Solie, John Banicki and Dan Young. If I left anyone out, send me an email, I'll add you to the list. It's been long hours and filing system is all over the place. A Special Thanks to my nieces Kimberly, Kelsey, Jennifer Nelson and Jen's boyfriend Alberto, for their long hours putting all the grids to the correct map. A Very Special Thanks to my loving wife Pamela. For the last 18 years, we've spent very little time together doing things. I have been 24/7 doing this project. At first she didn't understand what I was doing, now that she's seen the end results, she knows what it means to me and my fellow Vietnam Brothers.
