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

American Veteran Search 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 Tomany

WorldVillage Family Site Editor

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!
