Some text will be placed as they were received, as in a List or an email, to keep the intent and integrity and may be referring to a specific issue, person or case. While the primary purpose may be vague to the reader, the information is deemed to be of benefit. Where possible, automatic email "Mail To:" forms have been placed for further questions and feedback.
Since it is impossible for us to thoroughly research every "Aid," this Index is offered as a guide and starting place; and we recommend caution in using these sources and their claims, as you would with any source you use. Most, we hope, will be helpful. If you have a like source you use that is not listed here, please email it to me by clicking on my hypertexted name below. This Gallery is by no means complete and will continue to grow.
As some "Aids" have been in our files over time, all may not be viable. If you find any email addresses, Web Site URLs, phone numbers, etc. that are not working, please email me at: Deanna. Be sure to check the revision date on each file, as that will be changed when more sources and information are added.
Some sources are off our Site or may be linked to Main Sections and Galleries of this Home Page. Please Bookmark your place here and/or use your Web browser's "Back" feature to return to this index when needed.

The MRF Association dedicated the "Mobile Riverine Force Memorial" on Saturday, May 27, 2000, at Fort Snelling National Cemetery, with a wreath laying and honor guard. The Association placed a wreath honoring the 9th Infantry Division Memorial, which is already established. Both Memorials are in memory of all our fallen comrades and all those who served in the Mobile Riverine Force and the 9th Infantry Division (Vietnam).

In the Subject line, type "hello" (without quotes); you may leave the body of the message blank. The instructions will be sent to you automatically.
Recently, the VVHP volunteers have been receiving inquiries as to the legitimacy of certain Veterans' charities. This FTC Page gives some good advice, cautions, and avenues to explore to find out if charities, fund raisers, etc. are what they claim to be.
There are many good charities that do what they claim and are worthy of your dollars, but don't be afraid to ask questions and find out. One avenue to call, that I didn't see listed at this time, is your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see if any complaints/other inquiries are being made regarding the organization(s)/individual(s) asking you for money.

Please verify "issues," such as these, before we act and maybe create unwanted and unwarranted "hard feelings." Things do change, however; so let's keep our eyes and ears open. Thanks.
