We would be happy to see you and to shake your hand.

Share your story and perhaps your photographs.

A visit from an old friend Minh, from Tan Son Nhut days.

Minh worked at the base library (1969-1971).

This is her first visit to the U.S.

We've had fun traveling to Nevada, Northern Calif and various Utah's highlights.

United States Army

Purple Heart Day is observed annually on August 7th.

A decoration consisting of a purple, heart-shaped piece of silk having a narrow edge of silver stitched with the word Merit across the face, was created by General George Washington on August 7, 1782.

Considered to be the first official military combat badge of the United States Armed Forces, this is called the “Badge for Military Merit”.

The official successor decoration of the Badge of Military Merit is the Purple Heart.
