Let them say of me ....

I've never found anything more appropriate, in my opinion, as Veterans Day nears, than this small presentation put together during 2010 by Jason Eric Mumaw in memory of his late father, a Vietnam veteran. The song, "American Anthem," was written by Gene Scheer and performed by Norah Jones for Ken Burns' seven-part 2007 documentary, "The War." 

The image at the top dates from 2008 and was taken during a November visit to the Iowa Veterans Cemetery near Van Meter. That's Interstate 80 rolling off to the west. The shield is from my Vietnam unit, the 519th Military Intelligence Battalion.
