I am a Vietnam Vet (1970-1971) with the 173rd ABN Inf. and received a letter from one of the students inviting me to their program at Ernest Ward School last week. This really made my day. I gradurated Ernest Ward in 1969 . The letter from the student reminded me of letters we would get when we were in Vietnam. Letters were the best moral boosters a soilder could get, when all else around him was going to pieces. Just knowing someone somewhere cared enough was special and made someone’s day a little better. That’s the way I felt the day this letter came and I will be there for their program at Ernest Ward School Thursday. Thanks Jasmine Elliot for your hand writen invitation This will be a great honor for me. May God bless each and every one of you, forever thankful , (SGT) Joe Hall.
I am a veteran of 21 years of service in Air Force logistics, however I am not (thank the Lord) a combat veteran. Those men and women who served us on the front lines of our wars and police actions deserve special recognition. Many came home with physical and emotional injuries and many are dealing with difficult problems and circumstance today.
I just want to say that I appreciate your dedication in facing difficulties that I was spared. I hold an expert small arms ribbon, but thankfully never had to put it to the true test. I like to jokingly say, if you ever would have seen me firing my weapon, you would have known things were getting pretty bad. Their service was nothing to joke about, it was in your face, life and death and I thank them for it.
