Richard Simmons 07-04-43 - 06-25-68 . . Contributed By Audrey Harrison-Morris On Sunday, January 03, 1999 Richard Simmons became a father two months prior to giving his life for this country, but he never even knew he was expecting. 5 years ago I was told that the family who raised me was indeed not my "real" family. According to my mother my father was stationed in Germany in'67 (where they lived together - her name Gabriele) when he received notice he was going to Vietnam. His tour of duty according to the wall was Oct. '68 But according to my mother I was conceived the day before he left which would have been late July early August. She was told later that he was killed. Recently I have been experiencing medical problems and am interested in getting a medical background on my father and decided to start a search. You can not begin to imagine my feelings or how ovrwhelmed I was to find this sight then to find his name and to see he really existed and just a little more info than the nothing that I knew. My family has no idea that I know about my Dad so being able to share this with all who read it really helps. (I will definitely be sending a portion of my next pay to help keep this going) Anyone knowing anything even it's just how to get a copy of Vets med records please contact me. His info: Richard Simmons from South Carolina 24 yrs. old at death served in the Army born July 4, 1943 |

Expansion of the Vietnam Memorial . . Contributed By R. Carlos FloresOn Wednesday, January 13, 1999 I heard on the radio that there is a plan to expand the Vietnam Memorial to include those that have suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSS) or died from an illness that was linked to the Vietnam Conflict. My father (who suffered from PTSS) died in 1993 from a form of lung cancer that was linked to the use of agent orange in the Vietnam Conflict. Any help or advice on who to contact would be greatly appreciated. To all of the Veterans.May god bless and keep each and every one of you. |

Studies and jobs concerning the Vietnam war . . Contributed By Dimitri De SadeleerOn Wednesday, January 13, 1999 I heard that there are courses you can follow in American colleges or universities about the Vietnam War. I'm looking for information on this. Thanks in advance! I would also like to work with veterans in America. Is there any possibility in a job which allows me to help veterans? To all veterans out there: take care! I love you all! |
