I am new here - I just saw the Vietnam Wall Memorial in Phoenix over the weekend.  It was beautiful.  I am ashamed that I grew up in an environment where country clubs and social events were what mattered over everything.  I never knew anything about Vietnam until I went this weekend and learned.  My dad was an OBGYN in the Air Force and died in 1970 and my mom never talked about any war saying that I didn't need to know anything about that.  I am so proud of the people who have fought for my freedom.  I am usually very shy about approaching soldiers and vets so I will use this forum to say thank you....thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I wish I could do something to be involved, to help, to volunteer....anything. 

Just sign me...grateful forever...

Welcome Bella. Thank you for your kind words. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them and we will try to answer them as best we can.

[Kurshan for City Council]

In 2006 the Vallejo, California Veterans Memorial was desecrated by the theft of a bronze plaque containing the names of Vallejo veterans. The loss equated to a $25,000.00 price to properly restore the memorial and engrave the names of the veterans in granite.
To date the money has not been raised.

My name is Sam Kurshan. I am running for City Council in Vallejo.
I will be donating 1/2 of all future campaign contributions to the fund to restore the memorial.
In fact I'll go one better. In light of donating to my campaign. Please make 100% of your donation to Vallejo VFW Chapter 1123. I do not need any more money to run my campaign.

I have a digital picture of post 1519, Grand River Detroit Michigan. It is quite old and is of the WWI veterans.  My Uncle Chris Schaffer was a cook in the Navy in WWI and a proud member of the VFW.  We used to travel around Michigan in his Green Hudson Hornet and visit VFW halls.  Great memories for me.  I am a Vietnam Veteran and flew helicopters in I corp.

Welcome Alleycat8. The Grandriver Post 1519 still exists, however, they no longer have a Post Home. They now meet at a K of C hall in Livonia, MI. I am the District Jr. Vice Commander for their District and I was just at their meeting last month.
