- Jeff Palmer sent me this link. First, let me say how sad I was to hear about your son's passing in the service of our country. As you may recall, I was in the US Navy, having recently retired after 31 years of service. I know what it is like to serve this great nation, but I cannot fathom the pain of losing a son. My son, Jordan, is on active duty in the Navy, as is my son-in-law. Anyway, we will support this great cause and please, if there is anything we can do, let us know. Warmest regards, CDR Scott and Debbie Simmons"

I lost a family member in Vietnam he was only in country less than two weeks before being killed in action. Its only fitting that way take the time to recognize what some many have done for this country and for freedoms that we enjoy because of what they gave

Our hearts are with you this day. We've been praying for you all day, hoping that the response to the unveiling was overwhelming. My son Matthew, who nearly died on Oct. 15, 2004 at the hands of a suicide car bomber, spoke today at a Memorial Day Ceremony. He spoke to honor those killed beside him on that day, Army SGT Michael Owen, teammate, Army CPL Jonathon Santos, Marine videographer CPL William Salazar, and all others who have given their life in the service of this great country. We will never let them be forgotten. Your flag will help us to make sure they are honored and remembered. God Bless You. (The web site looks great!)

Many people do not know of the price our men and women pay for our freedom. The families of these proud men and women also pay a price. Many just have time taken from them, but some prices paided life altering. Many americans do not know of these prices unless personally touched be it. With this and many other "Honor and Remember" tributes all americans will support the efforts of a supports, fighting or fallen for us.

Every one should sign this. Beacuse if it wasn't for the selfless Men and Women who serve in our Armed service ,we would not have what we do! however big or small it may be. It is because of God and the Men and women that serve in our armed services. At least we can do for them and their families is to HONOR and RESPECT what they have done for US!!! We appreciate YOU!!!!!!!!!!

We send toys to the children over seas in his honor because he always asked us to send him toys to give to the children himself,didnt want anything for him just the children.so anything we can do to help other familys we will try our best.

I lost my uncle Raymond Rendako who was killed in action on the first day of the invasion of Saipan in WWII,even tho he was killed 15 months before I was born I think of him often. I have visted his grave which is in the PunchBowl cemetery in Hawaii where thousands of soldiers are buried who lost their lives in WWII,It is time we have a flag to honor and remember all who have given their lives for our freedom. It is time.

Dear Mr. George Lutz This flag is truly an honor in itself, for those who gave their lives for our country, as well as those who take pride in flying it. Though I never was able to serve, I will definately support this cause in any way that I can. I have started an e-mail and sent it to all of my contacts asking them to pass it on whether they support the meaning of the flag or not. Basically what I am trying to say is Thank You.

Also as a Member of the Board of Directors of the National Chief Petty Officer's Association, as our National President has done, my support for this flag to join the National Ensign in being flown alongside it is being so stated at this time. It will prevail. I urge all shipmates to jump on board and join with me on this so that it "will fly"..

This is a wonderful idea that has been too long in coming. I am a Korean (Forgotten War) War veteran. Not much has ever been made of "our" war even though we lost 58,000 in a 3 year period vs the 58,000 in the ten year Vietnam conflict. Where can one purchase this flag? Thank you. Wrlebird@yahoo.com

Major Chris Hrudka, USMC

Jacksonville

While a noble cause, there is already a flag to honor and commemorate those who have given their lives in defense of our country; it is called the American Flag. The American flag alone should be flying in honor of those who have died. The American flag represents our constitution, our history, and our way of life for all those who have taken an oath to serve, and it is all we need. Creating a seperate icon is actually a bit insulting. From one who has served, continues to serve, and lost many friends along the way, your movement and this flag is noble but unnecessisary. What would honor your son and all other who have died throughout history for this country would be to properly honor the American flag, and to live a honorable life in pursuit of the freedoms and hope it represnts. I am sorry for your loss. Respectfully, Major Chris Hrudka, United States Marine Corps

George Lutz

Chesapeake

Major I cannot thank you enough for making this comment. I too thought that the American flag should represent those lives lost. However it is not what Old Glory was meant to stand for. She stands for everything you stated but no-where in its meaning does it identify the sacrifices made. We have many flags to honor various groups in our nation, we have magnets and t shirts that say support our troops. But we have nothing that speaks specifically to the sacrifice and says Thank you! Why not a beautiful recognizable symbol that says we recognize that sacrifice and fly it in thanks to all those who didn't return home. We have thousands of unappreciated Vietnam and Korean war vets. I am reminded how they were treated not long ago, and even less so the parents of those who died there. Lets remind Americans there is that select group who died, so that we may walk free. Why not an icon so that all of the families, friends and veterans have some closure in the fact that we actually will never forget. Nothing is meant to ever replace or diminish the American flag, the proudest symbol of our nation. But like the POW flag recognizes a most honored and unique group so respectfully, so does the Honor and Remember flag. I believe there are hundreds of thousands that see this need and many more in appreciation of this important vision. God Bless you and I am very thankful for your service. If you would like to further discuss please write to me personally at george@honorandremember.org Respectfully George Lutz

As a fully retired Sailor, I appreciate what you are doing. It is a long time coming, especially for the Viet Nam Vets, who, is spite of there service for freedom, were so poorly eviscerated on their return. I hope this gets a LOT of support, and goes all the way.

I think this flag is wonderful, and I would love to see it adopted like the POW/MIA flag has been. Thank you for developing a flag that truly honors those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. My husband is a Navy Chaplain and served as the battalion chaplain with the 1st Battalion 8th Marines in the Battle of Fallujah in Nov 2004. They lost 17 Marines in that battle plus an additional 4 Marines during the course of their entire deployment. I think this flag is a very fitting tribute to them and to all who have so willingly given their lives in defense of our freedom since the birth of our country. Our condolences to your family in the loss of your son. I firmly believe history will show that his [and your family's] sacrifice was not in vain!

Thank you for this beautiful website. What a tribute to pay all our fallen servicemembers. Being retired U.S. Navy I cannot fathom the thought of what our servicemembers endured during their tour(s) in combat areas. Having two son's that both served in the U.S. Army and over in Iraq and returned back home thank God, but knowing what they both experienced over there for 15 months is just mind bloggling. They too lost many friends while there and to have this website is a blessing. To those servicemembers in harms way, may God shield you with guardian angels. God bless America, Bill Lynch, USN (Ret)

Simply stated, this is long overdue. I found this site today when I checked for updates at AFSPA website which had a link and it stopped me cold in my thoughts when I began to read about it. I served on active duty Air Force 22Sep87-21Sep91 and am a 17 year contiguous member of the American Legion. My grandfather served in WWII and my dad during Vietnam both in the Army. Both came home safely and are still with us today. The flag is beautiful, kudos to the designer(s). Let's get it recognized! Bradford I.

Chesapeake,

It's me again with more to say. Maybe if the "Armed Forces" of my time, 1956-1977, had been able to do our job then instead of losing lives for a "Politically Motivated" cause, the Armed Forces of this generation would not be losing their lives and limbs over another "P-M" blunder!!!!
