Welcome Home Sergeant Wiedel. A special thanks to you and your family.
WELCOME SIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU BACK IN THE USA.
These photos so vividly remind me of the day (August 17, 1969) that my husband returned from Vietnam. Can truly say I share your blessings of a safe return and the feeling of happiness that has lingered with me for 43 years. Thanks for serving this country. God bless you and yours.
Trace Adkins sings, “We were in the fields of Vietnam, the mountains of Afghanistan.” Sgt, you exemplify the mission of the modern soldier. I have friends names engraved on the “Wall.” Some were in the Florida National Guard in the early 1960’s. Americans should always remember that “all gave some, some gave all.” Thank you for your service Sergeant!
