War Stories!
|
War Stories is a
family rated page that is Banned
for public viewing in China.
Nowhere within War Stories is China critized in any way. Nevertheless,
China considers the personal stories Vietnam Veterans have posted on these
pages not suitable for public consumption. I consider China's actions more
of a comment on their form of government, than a negative mark against War
Stories ... and therefore, an Award, which I proudly post:

American
Veteran Search "Patriotic Site Award" -- Rich & Jack
From: VetsSearch@aol.com
Subject: Congratulations, Top 10 Patriotic Site
Award
War
Stories: Congratulations, This is Rich & Jack from American
Veteran Search. We are proud to tell you that your website has been chosen
to be featured in our AVS Monthly Newsletter in the "Top 10 Patriotic
Site Award" section. We will Also add a link to your site on our
site.
What this means
is we have reviewed your website and considered it worthy to be sent to
our members. Our monthly Newsletter now gets sent to over 3 million
Veterans on the Internet. We have spent the better part of two hours
reviewing thoroughly the "Vietnam Veterans War Stories" site. We
are incredibly amazed at the growth and the competent manor in which you
have taken to bring this worthwhile endeavor to America's Veterans.
Veterans mostly forgotten by the citizens who enjoy their freedom fought
and won with tremendous sacrifice by veterans. Veterans prepared to fight,
and having given of themselves in many conflicts throughout American
history, deserve more. It is obvious your tremendous love of our American
Veterans who served their country.
We live in times
when most citizens choose, to sit quietly and relaxed, maintaining their
own original state of apathetic, day to day existence, allowing the
standards of American freedom to be removed one inch at a time. You have
begun to build a path for the world to see that America is more than the
Daily movement of money on the Dow. We must not allow a new breed of
America to forget the price paid. We must not allow a youthful America to
think that this freedom will last without the veterans of the future.
Your site,
"Vietnam Veterans War Stories" from all we have seen in review,
is a call in the darkness to America to not allow itself to stay asleep at
the wheel of freedom. We are proud to know you are visible to the world.
That the great light of the American Veteran shines for those to know they
were there. And that all Veterans, united, proud, undivided, can once
again make a visible difference in the future of a strong America within a
new world.
It is with much
Pride that we present you with our,
American Veteran Search "Patriotic Site Award".

The Hot Brass Military Website
Congratulations! You own a HOT BRASS Website! For a year now, I have been traversing the web looking for military
websites which creatively brought a personal perspective of our service to
the nation. I especially sought out those where military history is well
documented. At the same time, I looked for sites which have high
educational value to youngsters. Obviously - these sights must be suitable
for developing minds. All along, I took notes - and "scored"
them for their potential influence upon future citizens.
Thank you very much for the great
expenditure of time, talent, and self which is evident in War Stories! .
You have given the world real, Fine Gold .
Thank You! John

Our Review: The
name of today's FamSite...relates to a period of time, when the Golden
Oldies of today were the current rage of the airwaves. The site is Vietnam
Jukebox, and it is a collection of songs, in MIDI format, that were
popular during from 1960 to 1975. Here you can listen to (and download)
just about any song that you can think of from that era. Not only the
popular ones such as Good Vibrations and Locomotion and Lollipop are
featured, but ones that were not as big of hits but are remembered
nostalgically. These include Ballad of the Green Beret and Tom Dooley and
Hang On Sloopy.
So if you want a nice nostalgic trip down
memory lane, or if you are dying to hear what your parents or grandparents
listened to while they were younger, then hop on over to this site. It is
a fun one!
