“The Vietnam war was before my time but the Veterans who served in this war are very dear to my heart! I always thank Veterans when I see them (even though I am an Iraq war Veteran myself). These Veterans didn’t receive the welcome home they deserved. If you see a Vietnam Veteran, please, add to your “thank you” a “welcome home Soldier” and see the reaction on his face. It’s NEVER too late to welcome them home!” ~Nichole Alred,…..
COMES A Soldier’s Whisper is proud to share Michelle Cahill’s journey and her reconnection with her WWII uncles: “In 1945, my father lost two brothers. In 2012, I found them.

In our large family, as is common with such a loss, little was said about “the boys.” Though the few questions my generation asked were always answered,…..

He was at Eagle’s Nest “just after” the 506th got there. He said there were “burning piles” of Nazi propaganda outside, and he managed to grab a few books (I still have them) as souvenirs.

COMES A Soldier’s Whisper is proud to share Phyllis’ story: “I vividly recall when my brother and his classmates were loaded onto a bus from school to go and see if they were fit to be drafted for the Vietnam War.
