Our Vietnam Veteran Tour Guides are on summer vacation.
Just like all of the school kids that they talk to at the NJ Vietnam Veterans' Memorial,
they will all be rested and ready to go come September.
Recently, nine of our tour guides took in a BlueClaws game at First Energy Stadium in Lakewood.
Top row (l to r): Dan O'Leary, Michael McMahon, Michael Coale, Bob Cottrell and Carl Burns.
Bottom row (l to r): Jack Cesar, Larry Horyd, John Minor and Doc Johansen.
The staff at the NJ Vietnam Veterans' Memorial and Vietnam Era Educational Center decided that they, too, needed a little down time before the busy fall they have planned. (l to r) Kelly Watts, Katie Witzig and Lynn Duane recently took in a Josh Gracin concert at Jenks Club in Point Pleasant. Bet you didn't know that these three ladies are Country Music Fans! |
