VIETNAM
1964 - 1975

FREEDOM IS NOT A CONFLICT, IT IS A BIRTHRIGHT.
2.9 MILLION AMERICANS SERVED DURING THE
VIETNAM ERA TO PRESERVE THIS RIGHT. LIKE OUR
FOREFATHERS THEY SERVED THIS GREAT COUNTRY
WITH PRIDE AND DIGNITY . OVER 57,000 BRAVE
MEN AND WOMEN SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR
THIS RIGHT TO FREEDOM. AMERICANS LIKE THESE
HAVE KEPT THIS COUNTRY FREE FOR OVER 200
YEARS. ALL THEY ASK IS TO BE WELCOMED HOME
AND TO REMEMBER THEM ALWAYS, FOR THEY
HAVE EARNED THE RESPECT AND ADMIRATION
WITH THEIR BLOOD.

HERE WITH THEIR NAMES INSCRIBED, WE HONOR
OUR NORTHERN MICHIGAN SONS WHO SACRIFICED
THEIR LIVES FOR THE FREEDOM OF ALL MEN. MAY
GOD AND COUNTRY BLESS THOSE WHO SERVED
AND DIED IN VIETNAM.

VIETNAM VETERANS OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN
