We must never forget

An item from one of our fellow veterans organizations in the Bay Area.


Remember our Vietnam Veterans today.
MARINES' MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION & FOUNDATION
National Vietnam War Veterans Day
Dear Michael Barbour,
Today, Americans come together to honor those who served in Vietnam.
These loyal patriots left their families behind and battled under daunting conditions to protect the freedoms we hold dear. We owe them a debt of gratitude—and must never forget their sacrifice.
You can honor the legacy of military service by supporting programs that commemorate and serve Veterans and their families. It’s a simple way to show your appreciation for those who served and sacrificed so much.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Rocco Signature

Remember our Medal of Honor heroes

More of American members of this branch, we wanted to share this item from a fellow Bay Area veterans organization.


MARINES' MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION & FOUNDATION | Today Is National Medal of Honor Day
Dear Michael Barbour,
Today, we commemorate our military heroes who displayed outstanding valor in combat. Tragically, many paid the ultimate price.
On this solemn occasion, I think it’s only fitting that we recognize all those who risk their lives to serve our Country.
You can honor the legacy of military service by supporting programs like our Living Memorial, which preserves photos and memorabilia from all branches, or our Tribute Wall, which memorializes those who have sacrificed their lives since 9/11. Our primary mission is to Educate, Commemorate, and Serve the Active Duty and Veteran community. 100% of your donation goes to support these heroes along with their families.
Thank you for honoring America’s heroes.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Rocco Signature
