Rebecca Linda Smith sings at the Vietnam Veterans National Memorial in Angel Fire, N.M. on Memorial day 2008.
This is one of two national
memorials for Vietnam veterans in America.
There are thousands of visitors every Memorial Day weekend, this memorial was completed in 1971 by the late Dr. Victor Westphall in honor of his son, LT David Westphall who was killed in Vietnam in 1968, this is the 40th year anniversary of the death of LT Westphall and there will be a special candlelight vigil on Sunday evening. Rebecca Linda will be singing the national anthem for the ceremonies and some special numbers from her recently released Patriotic album, AMERICAN HEROES, including the song, "Never Be Apart Anymore," written by her and her husband, Dr. Robert Frank Smith. On Memorial Day, she will be performing the national anthem again for the Memorial Day ceremonies with many military and political dignitaries present and performing some other special Patriotic and Inspirational Country songs.
The Vietnam Veterans National
Memorial
Rising dramatically from a
hillside overlooking one of northern New Mexico's most beautiful
Rocky Mountain valley's this 6,000 square foot national shrine
speaks of many things.
Not to glorify war, but to honor the
men and women who served in Vietnam, as well as all veterans for
the selfless sacrifices they made at their country's bidding.
The prayer for peace: A
promise of hope for America's future, and an understanding that
war is not the answer to our problem. With the Sangre de
Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, the memorial
is a place for personal inspiration for reflection on the cost
and horrors of war...for respect for those who fought, those who
died, and those who came home from war disabled.
Constructed by the family of Dr.
Victor Westphall, whose son LT David Westphall, was killed in a
1968 enemy ambush in Vietnam, the memorial, is 8,500 feet above
sea level and just five miles from the slopes at Angel Fire.
The Westphall family completed the shrine in 1971. It is
supported through the generosity of veterans and other Americans
who are dedicated to its preservation.
The memorial's textured surface
captures the constantly changing sunlight of the clear New
Mexico mountains air, giving its walls a subtle play of color
that grows vivid at sunrise and sunset. Inside the
memorial, the curving walls enclose a nondenominational chapel
and lead to a tall, narrow window thought which visitors look
across the tranquil Moreno Valley. This graceful structure
was designed by Santa Fe architect Ted Luna. The Visitor's
Center is open from 9 to 5 in winter, 9-7 in summer, seven days
a week, and the Chapel is open 24 hours daily. The
Visitor's Center includes a history of conflict display with
videos and memorabilia. Veteran's can use on site
computers to get information about loved ones, Volunteers are
available at the Memorial to assist veterans and other visitors
with personal issues; and educational tours for school, churches
and veterans groups are also available.
Vietnam Veterans of America
Chapter 574
Is making a very special
invitation to all veterans, especially the Vietnam Veterans, to
join us in making a very special healing trip to the Vietnam
Veterans National Memorial in Angel Fire, N.M. If you are
having problems with PTSD, I recommend that you pack your gear
and make arrangements to take that step that you will never
regret. You will experience some very spiritual, healing,
holy moments that I guarantee will stay inside of you forever,
and not in a bad way, but in the most peaceful sense. Your
spouse and family are welcome to participate; they also
hurt and need help to understand the reason why we hurt.
Hopefully also, you will be able to communicate a lot better
with your loved ones. We need to start showing pride deep
inside ourselves instead of the hurt and bad feelings. You
and your family will be touched in a manner that you have never
dreamed.
And as a tradition, our
Chapter has for many years set up a large mess tent in the area
called "tent city." Our brothers and sisters do
a lot of cooking to feed our families and everyone who visits
our tent and needs a meal. We ask our followers to donate
twenty-five per family for the weekend, and if you can donate
any of the items on the food list, we thank you with open arms.
However, if you cannot afford anything, please don't hesitate to
join us; you are still invited and welcomed; some
day you may be able to help! A lot of the members leave on
Friday, while others get there on Saturday morning on Memorial
Day weekend which is on the last Monday in May. Also, you
are welcome to set up your tents, pop-ups, or travel trailers at
tent city (no hook ups). or you can stay at one of the RV
places in Angel Fire. Also, a lot of us rent the condos
which are used during the skiing season; They are
beautiful and fit a lot of people. The cons are rented to
us at a very special low price. When you call for
reservations. just let them know you're with the Vietnam
Veterans of America, Chapter 574. The number to call for
Condos reservations is 1-800-338-2589, If you need further
information, you can reach, Lucio Moreno, President, Vietnam
Veterans of America, Chapter 574, at 1-915-3872. Unusually,
I need to push you to make this spiritual journey the first
time. Thereafter, you will be looking forward to being
there on your own. Brothers and Sisters, take that step
that you need so badly, if not for yourself, do it for your
family!!
The CD is gospel-filled, but the outstanding offering is a piece of honest-to-Bob-Wills western swing nicely titled “Texas and Tennessee.” It includes this line: “Texas on my mind, Tennessee not far behind.” As the king of western swing would put it, “ah-ha.” Smith-Renewed expresses pride in her association with one of gospel’s most important names, Dottie Rambo, who joins her, as does former Shenandoah lead singer Marty Raybon. The songs, most written by the singer’s husband, Robert Frank Smith, are performed sincerely and well. Special mention must be given the joyous, country-flavored “Everlasting Love.” Several of the songs by the El Paso, Texas, native are definitely country-flavored. Mention should be made of two that are ultra-inspiring, “A Crown of Thorns” and “Jesus, Lord of My Life.” The life-enriching release often addresses troubles that can be overcome if one has faith. Smith-Renewed does not try to overpower. She tries to inspire, and she succeeds.
