Whispering Death


whispering death

Whispering Death "Tuag Nco Ntsoov": ...Our Journey with the Hmong in the Secret War for Laos . . .

"Whispering Death . . . is a shattering account of an eighteen-year old aviator from the streets of America to Vietnam, into the Macomb world of a Secret War run by the CIA, fought with clandestine forces, the Hmong hill people, and a vast and varied air armada.

"This is a book that must be read . . . I highly recommend this book for knowledge of how the Secret War in Laos was fought and why we owe the Hmong so much."

Harry C. Aderholt - Brigadier General USAF, Ret.

"What Happened to Respect" from our brother Jim Eichelberger

We're hearing a lot recently about big splashy memorial services. One of the "Band of Brothers" soldiers died on June 17, 2009 ? just 8 days before Michael Jackson ? and yet, no media coverage. I want a nationwide memorial service for Darrell "Shifty" Powers.


Shifty volunteered for the airborne in WWII and served with Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infa… Continue

Response to Okerlund OpEd Piece: Vietnam veterans stay mum about Iraq?

Matt Okerlund • mokerlund@argusleader.com • September 7, 2008

Since the Iraq War began in March 2003, veterans of the Vietnam War haven't said much. That is not a criticism. Nor is it a plea. It is only an observation made after five years of witnessing a war without end.

Hi Bob, I'll assume you're the webmaster here so I'll post this to you. I am a SDV and own and operate a small engraving/signage business in S.E. lower Michigan. If any of your members and or affiliates need plaques, trophies or signage etc. or just want advice on stuff like that I would like to offer my services and/or knowledge to them. I'm new here so I don't know the best way to "advertise" this but am hoping you'll let me know. Thanks in advance, Joe

Greetings Bob:
I know you'll be busy on Friday, but could you spend several minutes with me to discuss your ideas about providing PCs for Vets and staff at DryHootch. Independence First has committed six refurbished PCs for your use. Also a DSL internet service would be needed for internet access. I'll look for you on Saturday.
Love and peace, Walt

Greetings:

How does one join a group like "Friends of the Dryhootch;" there are three groups and no way to join one. Also how would we start a new group so we can draw volenteers to support Vets via visitations?

Love and peace, Walt Henry

Thanks for helping to expose this business. I mean if this is a part time position, that's a lot of money to be spending. I think he's just a crook.
