A special message to Doc Dentice:
Thanking you for your efforts in saving the lives of those I knew -
after the rocket attack at CuChi Vietnam at the
125th Signal Co.in 1968 on the perimeter.
You were the only Medic that came from the 25th Med Bn. after
the call for help. You treated the badly wounded, and there were many,
and you evacuated them all to the 12th Evac hospital down the road.
They had sucking chest wounds-shrapnel wounds-broken legs and burns,
and you treated them all. You ran right into the bunker that was hit by
a 122 rocket and saw death and smelled flesh burning, and did all you
could to save the lives of my friends. You did this all while we were
still under attack and receiving incoming rounds. You should, in my opinion
have received the Medal of Honor. Its a shame you were not put in for it.

This is a truly BEAUTIFUL Vets site, It's  just amazing ! ! !!!!!
I served in WW11, and Korea in the military.
In Vietnam I was a line Captain flying for a company known as Air America.
(As you probaly know we were owned by the CIA).
I had the pleasure and honor to fly many of the military on many occasions.
Actually many times I felt as one of them.
For give me I just had to say this. Cheers,  Jack Thompson.

Dear Doc,
First off, I would like to thank you for your wonderful and informative
Veterans Website.  Both of my parents were in the war (they met
in-country in 1967 and were married a year later) so I really appreciate
reading about other's experiences and trials through the war.  I grew up
hearing all about my parent's experiences, so I honestly feel very close
to the Vietnam War and its veterans.  Thank you for your service.  My
reason for this letter is about your "Donut Dolly" section which
discusses the Red Cross girls' work in the war.  My mother, Glenna
(Sheeran) Terrell was a Donut Dolly from 1966-67 with the 4th ID, 25th
ID, and finally the 1st ID.  As I looked through the site, I was amazed
to find a picture of her serving coffee to some of the troops in Cu Chi,
were she was originally stationed. She had never seen that picture and
I still can't believe I just happened to come across it on your site.  (I've
attached the picture from your site as well).  She is very interested in
contacting some of her old "war buddies", so any information you have on
this, we'd really appreciate. Thank you again for your site, I am as
always very appreciative of you and all of the veteran's service to our
nation, especially during such a turbulent time in our history.  I hope
that my generation is as committed to service as yours was.  Thank you again.

DOC has put together a truly remarkable site.
                      Indeed, Wisconsin veterans can easily use this site to keep abreast of upcoming events, both in
                     Wisconsin and nationally, because this site does not skimp on a fantastic wealth of information.
                      Highly tasteful special effects are blended with pictures and text in a way that only a combat medic
                     could have conjured up to provide the viewer with a rather overwhelmingly powerful experience.
                      Numerous links are also provided and the background music is bound to bring back memories as well.

Hi, on behalf of Local 718 Veterans' Committee,I would like to commend you
on a Great website.Our delegate to the Region 4 conference, Gene Schaefer suggested, no
 insisted that I check out this website, and I wasn't disappointed. Although we are small in
number, we try to participate in the activities of most of the committees in Region 4, i.e. fund
 raisers, Stand Down, or whatever. If we can assist in anyway feel free to call on us.
Gene Schaefer, our chairperson can be reached thru me, Hardin Robinson, at this e-mail address;

Doc:
I was impressed with the Wisconsin's Veteran Web Site.  I was moved to tears,
as I spent almost an hour visiting your site, and the web links.  I am honored
to add your site to our Local U AW Veterans Page.  Visiting your site has made my
day, it has brought back found memories of my service time.  I am in the
beginning stages of web design.  I put together our Local web site, as a way
of keeping our veteran members informed.  Once again thank you for the
opportunity to link to your site.  God Bless you brother. Welcome Home!!!
Fraternally yours,
Richard M. Magner

Doc
Tom and I were surfing your site this morning.  What can I say?  It is
so beautiful and me being the emotional person that I am, tears
immediately filled my eyes.  It is certainly visible and "I can feel"
just how much vets, their issues, and your contributions to the UAW
means to you.  Thank you so much for your efforts to our justly cause.
Tom has talked and talked about his New Glaus trip.  I am so happy that
he went and enjoyed the weekend so well.  Looks like this will be a
yearly trip.  Hope the gang that goes with him will get bigger each
year.  I'd like to go along too since I accompany Tom to a lot of vets
stuff but I also like the idea of "boys weekend" out.
Thanks Doc for all you have contributed and sacrificed for me.  Thanks
for being a good friend to Tom.  Peace to you -- and welcome home.

Hi, My name is Pat Mullholland from UAW Region 9A and I am the Veterans Chairman of that region.
I am out here in Arizona with my friend Jerry Pujat, a retired GM employee, surfing the net
and wanted to say what a nice site you have for the veterans of UAW Region 4.
Keep up the good work.  Hope to see you next week at the CAP Conference in Washington, DC.

Yours in Comradeship and Soldiery,

  I just returned from my first visit to the REG 4 website.....I just
never expected to see a "BREATHTAKING" presentation such as
this!  You absolutely knocked me out!  I am so PROUD  of you and our REG 4
organization ------- I am so very motivated to spread the word on your
magnificant  job.  You do a fine job "My Friend" in all that you do and are
involved in, you are a true  "Patriot".

HEY DOC,
WHAT A FANTASTIC WEBSITE!   WELL DONE....
NOVEMBER 99
     WE, HERE AT LOCAL 5285 (MT. HOLLY, N.C.), JUST RETURNED FROM THE
CONFERENCE IN ATLANTA LAST  WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY.   LOCAL 882 IN
HAPEVILLE, GEORGIA HOSTED THE TWO DAY EVENT WHICH INCLUDED PARTICIPATION
BY THE DELEGATES IN THE ATLANTA VETERANS DAY PARADE.   LOCAL 10
(DORAVILLE, GEORGIA) ENTERED A UAW VETERANS FLOAT AND LOCAL 5285'S COLOR
GUARD WAS HONORED TO LEAD THE UAW CONTINGENCY.

     THE DELEGATES VOTED TO SCHEDULE THE NEXT REGION EIGHT VETERANS
CONFERENCE IN ATLANTA FOR VETERANS DAY Y2K.  WE PLANNED THIS "ON
PURPOSE".   IT MAKES SENSE FOR US, SEEING HOW MOST LOCALS NOW HAVE
VETERANS DAY INCLUDED AS A HOLIDAY.

     WE HERE AT LOCAL 5285 (FREIGHTLINER TRUCKS) HAVE PLANS TO BARGAIN
THIS HOLIDAY (AND OTHER ISSUES) NEXT OCTOBER WHEN OUR OWN NEGOTIATIONS
START UP.   KEEP US IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, BROTHERS AND
SISTERS.......

Once again, I say "THANK YOU" for maintaining this wonderful sight not only for Region 4 and UAW Veterans,
but for everyone.  You do a fantastic job!  The minute something happens you have it on your page for everyone to see.
You are man with a special talent.
Thanks Clara

I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane.
Few folks even knew his name.
But a hero, yes was he.
Left a boy, came back a man.
Still many just don't understand
about the reasons we are free.
I can't forget the look in his eyes
or the tears he cried,
as he said these words to me.
All gave some and some gave all.
Some stood through for the red, white and blue,
and some had to fall.
And if you ever think of me,
think of all your liberties, and recall,
some gave all.
Now, Sandy Cane is no longer here.
But his words are oh so clear
as they echo throughout the land.
and all his friends who gave us all,
who stood the ground and took the fall
to help their fellow man.
Love your country and live with pride
and don't forget those who died.
America, can't you see
All gave some and some gave all.
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
and some had to fall.
And if you ever think of me,
think of all your liberties, and recall,
some gave all.
