| Message | I am the daughter of a "Shake 'n Bake" from Fort Benning. SSG from the 1st Bat 7th/1st Air Cav 2nd Platoon - Company B. Never speaks of the tragedies - only in his sleep. Never tells that he was there - only through old letters, medals hanging on the wall & under anesthesia. Never wants us to know except through the movies. Nightmares & Flashbacks - strapped to boards with bright lights in his face & dirt being poured in his mouth. Sobbing. Sons, daughters & wives stripped of any kind of normalcy. The memories don't just go away . I can't believe the people of this country turned their backs on those boys - ashamed & tormented. Wish I could just say a big FU to all those who thought it was a good idea to bash on a soldier. Shame should be theirs. I will never forget and I am forever sorry for what they all had to go through. "Dad, why don't you believe in God?" "You can never know what I have seen or where I have been. If there was a God - he would of stopped it." |

| Message | CONT: the bureacratic shuffle that when he returned home he had us say our prayers for Sergeant Campos every night for many years. Recently, the Vietnam moving wall came to our hometown. I went with my children to see it and find Sergeant Campos' name. We lit candle together and said a prayer. I told them the story I just told you and they were sad. It was an emotional moment for all of us. I don't know why I wrote this story. i gues I just wanted to tell someone the story of the forgotten soldier and the children's prayer's. Oh, and since that night, when I say prayers with my children, at the end we say 'God bless mommy, God bless Daddy, and God bless Sergeant Campos. Thanks for listening, John E. Tevnan, Jr. |

| Message | I am writing to tell you a story of one of the names on the wall. His name is SSGT Magno Campos. He was killed in 1965. When I was a little boy my brothers and I would say our prayers with my father each night before bed. at the end, we would say 'God bless mommy, God bless Daddy, and God bless Sergeant Campos. We probably said this prayer from 1965 until oh, say, 1973 or so, when we got too big to say our prayers together. It wasn't until many years later that my Dad explained the reason to me. Sergeant Campos was killed on November 8th, 1965. He was the 1513th soldier killed in Vietnam. Aftre his death, his body was shipped back to the United States for burial. There was only one problem. Sergeant Campos had no next of kin to notify. He also didn't have any girlfriend or buddies at home waiting for him. Sergeant Campos stayed in the morgue for over nine months because no one claimed his body. Due to a combination of clerical errors, no one in his unit was notified of this. No one in his hometown was notified of this. No one in America was notified of this. Finally, the error was found and Sergeant Campos was given a proper and fitting soldier's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery with honor guard and uniformed contingent. Many people and dignitaries attended his funeral. My father, John E. Tevnan, Sr.a retired LTC US Army who has since passed away, went to Washington to attend the funeral and was so moved by the story of the soldier lost in |

| Message | Bless you, brother, and all like you; my 1st cousin was JFK's campaign mgr. in the Attleboro/Taunton/ new bedford/ fall river area in his '58 re-election run for the senate. JFK kissed my mother & grandmother on the cheek on our front porch not five feet away from me; like you, it was the defining moment in my coming to manhood. I write a regular column for the Attleboro Sun Chronicle, and I have done past pieces on USAF Lt. Francis M. Driscoll, the day JFK died, if you provide the information, I'd be happy to e-mail or snail-mail them over to you. Keep up the good work, Tom McAvoy  |
