This site is to honor ALL veterans who fought, died,
were wounded, or MIA in the Vietnam War. And too,
ALL those who made it back home safely. We
want to also honor ALL veterans from ALL wars.
The sacrifices they made for our country, heroes ALL,
with our sincere gratitude and thanks.



Enjoy your freedom?

Then thank a vet. They are the ones who have
paid for it... ALWAYS REMEMBER:

"A veteran is someone who, at one point in his or her life,
wrote a blank check, up to and including their life,
made payable to 'The United States of America'."

Today is:








John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address

"Let every nation know,
whether it wishes us well or ill,
that we shall pay any price,
bear any burden,
meet any hardship,
support any friend,
oppose any foe,
to assure the survival,
and the success of liberty."

January 20, 1961

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you
and save one backward glance when you are leaving
for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them,
though you may or may not have always.

Take what they have left and what they have taught
you with their dying, and keep it with your own.
And in that day when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes you left behind".

Major Michael O'Donnell
January 1, 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

O'Donnell, a helicopter pilot, was declared
Missing in Action on March 24, 1970,
during a rescue attempt. His remains
were returned in 1995, and identified in 2001.





















Anyone who possesses an older ID card (Active Duty, Dependant, or Retired) must obtain a New DOD ID card. Anyone who possesses an older ID card and not the new DOD Card will have that card confiscated by the gate guard after a specific date. Get the new card as soon as possible so you do not lose access to the Base Exchange or Commissary.




If you need an appointment with VA, you MUST make that appointment with the VA Hospital in Oklahoma City. When making your appointment, ask if you could be seen at the local clinic. Might save you a trip to OKC. Visit www.TAVVNTC.org/vaphone.htm for a listing of clinics plus a toll free number for the VA Hospital.
