[Wife of a Vietnam Vet wrote the following]


Richard, (my husband), never really talked a lot about his time in Viet Nam
other than he had been shot by a sniper. However, he had a rather grainy,
8 x 10 black & white photo he had taken at a USA show of Ann Margaret with
Bob Hope in the background that was one of his treasures.

few years ago, Ann Margaret was doing a book signing at a local bookstore.
Richard wanted to see he could get her to sign the treasured photo.
So he arrived at the bookstore at 12 o'clock for the 7:30 signing.

When I got there after work, the line went all the way around the bookstore,
circled the parking lot, and disappeared behind a parking garage.
Before her appearance, bookstore employees announced that she would sign
only her book and no memorabilia would be permitted.
Richard was disappointed, but wanted to show her the photo and let her know
how much those shows meant to lonely GI's so far from home.

Ann Margaret came out looking as beautiful as ever and, as 2nd in line,
it was soon Richard's turn. He presented the book for her signature and then
took out the photo. When he did, there were many shouts from the employees
that she would not sign it. Richard said,

"I understand. I just wanted her to see it".

She took one look at the photo, tears welled up her eyes and she said,

"This is one of my gentlemen from Viet Nam and I most certainly will sign his photo.
I know what these men did for their country and I always have time for
"my gentlemen".

With that, she pulled Richard across the table and planted a big kiss on him.
She then made quite a to do about the bravery of the young men she met over
the years, how much she admired them, and how much she appreciated them.
There weren't too many dry eyes among those close enough to hear.
She then posed for pictures and acted as if he was the only one there.

Later at dinner, Richard was very quiet. When I asked if he'd like to talk about it,
my big strong husband broke down in tears.

"That's the first time anyone ever thanked me for my time in the Army", he said.

That night was a turning point for him.
He walked a little straighter and, for the first time in years,
was proud to have been a Vet. I'll never forget Ann Margaret for her
graciousness and how much that small act of kindness meant to my husband.
I now make it a point to say "Thank You" to every person
I come across who served in our Armed Forces.

Freedom does not come cheap and I am grateful for all those who have
served their country. If you'd like to pass on this story, feel free to do so.
Perhaps it will help others to become aware of how important it is to
acknowledge the contribution our service people make.
