VVMF has received the very sad news that Diane Carlson Evans has passed away. Diane was a U.S. Army nurse, a Vietnam veteran, and Founder of the Vietnam Women’s Memorial.
Diane's every thought was about remembering and honoring the service of ALL our Vietnam veterans. While she wanted to make sure the service and stories of those who happened to be women would be included, in a recent conversation, we shared the conviction that they are Vietnam veterans first and women second. At 'The Wall,' the place set aside by our country for Vietnam veterans, going forward, may we honor all Vietnam veterans -- regardless of rank, branch of service, job responsibilities, race, religion or even gender.
Her courage, dedication and resolve to honor her fellow Vietnam veterans was unmatched. We will miss her presence at every ceremony, but now her spirit will always be there on that hallowed ground.
Godspeed, Diane, and Welcome Home.

NEW: Liz Cheney issued a statement in response to Donald Trump’s threat on Meet the Press to jail her over her role in the January 6th committee:
“This morning, President-elect Trump again lied about the January 6th Select Committee, and said members of the Committee 'should go to jail' for carrying out our constitutional responsibilities. Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power. He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave.
This was the worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history. Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”
Ronald Reagan: “Can we doubt that only a divine providence placed this land...here as a refuge for all those people in the world who yearn to breathe freely: Jews and Christians…the boat people of Southeast Asia, of Cuba and of Haiti?”

These conservative Republicans refuse to support Trump because they believe he’s utterly unfit for office. Country over party. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Former GOP Rep. Ken Buck rips House Republicans:
"Since this Congress started, there have been efforts to impeach the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the president, the attorney general, the FBI director, and, in fact, did impeach the director of — the secretary of homeland security.
Serious problems with setting priorities. We have a very tragic circumstance in Ukraine. We have spiraling debt, all kinds of out-of-control problems, and we focus on messaging bills that get us nowhere.”

Republican Senator Todd Young says he'll not vote for Trump in November: “Principled conservatives need to incentivize our party to nominate somebody that principled conservatives can believe in. I'm tired of having my vote taken for granted”
