SPECIAL PROJECTS

American Civilians Who Died In Vietnam & Laos Steve Jacobson, Navy 1964-1970, Webmaster Darilee Bednar, Webmaster/Researcher began May 2005 We have just begun the task of finding, recording, and researching the civilians, men and women who died in Vietnam. The numbers are in the hundreds and include many women who were in Vietnam as Missionaries, Aid Relief Volunteers, and other civilian professions. I, especially, am interested in the Merchant Marines who died serving their country. My father William Franklin Cordray, WWII and Korea, USN retired, who spent time in-country as a Merchant Marine. OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM Washington-Iraq OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM Washington-Afghanistan    Steven D. Jacobson, US Navy 1964-1970 Vietnam Veteran Webmaster Began June 2005 RUN FOR THE WALL & ROLLING THUNDER Even before I created Faces From the Wall... I wanted to go to Washington DC and see the real thing. When my daughters got the opportunity to go to Washington DC with their high schools I was rewarded by rubbings from the Wall as their thank yous. When I learned of Run For the Wall... I wanted to participate so badly but the old guy couldn't get even two weeks together to get half way there and I wouldn't go by myself. We are a team... the old guy and the old gal. So this year 2009... we are goin'.... The local Goodyear Retail Store can take a flying leap you know where... Our retirement fund is down 70%, his wages are down 30% and they are hiring younger men at higher wages... so P~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Goodyear. Run For the Wall... 1000 motorcyclists travel from Rancho Cucamonga CA to Washington DC in 10 days... Rolling Thunder... 500,000 motorcyclists meet to share.

I have attempted to give total credit to the volunteers,
some of whom have gone way beyond my expectations.
The list is growing rapidly and my graditude is endless.
