and the Chairman of the 25thAnniversary of The Wall Parade

Dear Vietnam veterans, friends & associates,


Saturday, November 10,2007, marks the25thAnniversary of The Wall, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the Mall in Washington, DC To commemorate this event, perhaps the only event of its kind with widespread significance to an entire generation of veterans and their families, Vietnam Veterans of America (“VVA”) is hosting a parade befitting the generation of veterans who served.

This parade will be the “welcome home” that many of the 9 million plus men and women who served on active duty during this era, never had. We expect a minimum of 50,000 plus veterans and their families to come to Washington and join us. The parade is open to all veterans’ organizations, posts, etc., to proudly march with the affiliation of their choice:

Military unit or veterans’ service organization
Contingent of a state or city
Fellow uniformed services who served(i.e. Police, Fire Departments)
Veteran motorcycle groups
Teachers, City, and Federal workers who served
Veterans from all walks of life

We invite you to be part of this historic event. Below is further information, which affords an expanded focus and scope of this event. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. One of our Parade Committee members will follow up with you to discuss your groups anticipated participation, and answer any questions you may have.

Please pass the word along to all groups who deserve to participate in this wonderful event. For more information, visit The Wall: 25th Anniversary Parade (broken link) , or call toll free at 1-877-727-2333.

Join us on this very special day of celebration and reflection as a grateful nation extends a heartfelt and symbolic ‘Thank You for Serving’ day of recognition.

Sincerely,

John Rowan

Been there a few times, great monument, very engaging.

It was a controversial design, but I think all agree it works well.

Sir, a sincere Thank You to you and your fellow servicemen and women for your service and sacrifice.

Having been raised a military brat, each day I think of those serving in our military and give thanks that you are there.

I have visited that memorial and although I have no relationship to it, it was a difficult journey.

Blessings of goodness to each of you.
