Let’s do better, together.
We are a veteran run organization that provides scholarships to young people either contemplating a career in the military or healthcare and/or participated in a JROTC program at their high school. There are over 58,000 names on The Vietnam Memorial Wall. So many men and women gave their lives during the Vietnam War and when one stands before the wall, it seems like an endless list of faceless, meaningless names etched in black stone.
When a soldier gives his life, it is not just the sacrifice of his young life that is given, but the sacrifice of everything that he would have experienced if he had come home. That’s the real sacrifice.
Roger Rosdahl PRESIDENT
US Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran
He was just 19 years old when he enlisted in the US Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran, knowing full well that he would go to foreign soil to fight for his country, and wanting to make his family proud. It is hard to imagine many 19 year olds these days who would endure the hardship of this brutal war. The conditions were deplorable.
Killmon Insights
Killmon Wall Rubbing is the rubbing of his name on the Vietnam Memorial Wall, Killmon Blooper, Killmon2 are both “Little John”, who this foundation is named for. Roger and Ramjet pics are both of my husband in Vietnam (Roger Rosdahl), Rosdahl Killmon is the one of my husband and Killmon that we talked about, Rog Harry Marilyn is a pic of Roger (my hubby), Marilyn (Killmon’s daughter), and Harry (another of Roger and Killmon’s comrades in Vietnam) all at the wall “visiting” Killmon.
