Sons and Daughters In Touch (SDIT)
“They Were Our Fathers”
There is a generation of sons and daughters who will have children of their own and none of them will ever know their father; their grandfather. There are many family members who will miss their departed relative and finding someone who understands the loss becomes a connection for life. SDIT’s mission statement is “to locate, unite and provide support to sons, daughters and other family members of those who died or remains missing as a result of the Vietnam War…” Personally I have never met one son, daughter, sister, brother, mother or father who did not demonstrate anything but incredible compassion for everyone they had a chance to give a hug. To learn more about SDIT for membership, programs, projects and frequently asked questions for local, regional and national SDIT groups visit their web site. I am honored to be an associate member.
It was billed as the "National Salute to Vietnam Veterans" and on November 11, 1982, Vietnam combat veteran John Devitt traveled to the dedication ceremony. He thought this would be a great reunion to reconnect with some of the guys with whom he served but had lost contact. As he approached The Wall, he felt a spirit and realized where this calling would take him. He knew he had to devise a way to share his experience with Americans who could not come to DC. John immediately returned to California, and along with two Navy friends, Norris Shears and Gerry Haver, and other volunteers they constructed the first half-size mobile replica of the Vietnam Veteran Memorial. The inauguration of the mobile memorial was displayed on October 15, 1984 at the Tyler, Texas Rose Festival. 21 years later, this memorial continues to travel around the country having the unique moving effect on everyone who pays their respects to John's original dream.

This section is within one of the best information web sites for Vietnam veterans. As the website explains, it is “a World Wide Web Vietnam Veteran Location Service. The purpose of this section is to help other Veterans and friends of Vietnam Veterans locate Veterans and others who served in Vietnam during the war years.” It is very user friendly and the rest of the immense web site should be thoroughly reviewed.
