| We received a
few "Well Wishes" to those who were participating on this historical trip.
They were wonderful and I felt it was necessary to post them.

Hello
To All
My
name is Diana O'Grady.. now Diana Bright. I lost my dad Col John F O'Grady
(MIA) on April 10, 1967. I was 8 years old and one of seven children. Dad
was an Air Force pilot who flew F105's. His loss had an enormous impact
on the rest of my life. He remains close to my heart and as all of you
know the loss is profound.
While
I am not able to be a part of the trip you are embarking upon, I am with
each of you in spirit. The common bond we all share and the pain of Vietnam
that still lives on in each of us today remains very real.
Please
remember my dad when you are in Vietnam and if anyone comes across any
information I hope you will share it with me. God Bless you all . You will
be in my prayers for a safe and wonderful trip.
Love
Diana

Dear
Jeanette:
Thanks
for keeping me informed about the activities of SDIT. I served in
the 6th BN and the 2nd BN of the 77th Artillery so your dad and I were
fellow soldiers even though we never met. Our tours of duty however
did overlap. I came home on April 27th in 1968. I just want
to commend you for the wonderful job you are doing to keep the memories
of your dad alive. I am very proud of you.
Give
my best regards to those who will be going on the trip to Vietnam.
I think that it will be very good for all of them and I pray that they
come home with a new perspective on what their fathers faced. I also
pray that they might also realize that much what history has to say about
us is not necessarily true and that their dads were the true heroes of
our generation.
Jeanette,
keep up the work you are doing and I will surely try to stay in touch with
an encouraging word every now and then. I will also add you and your
family to my prayer list. I pray now that the travelers will have
a safe and wonderful journey to Vietnam and that the peace that passes
all understanding will guard their hearts.
Respectfully
