Feedback: John McCoy writes from Oregon

Editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Thank you so much for publishing the links Joe Hare furnished for Memorial Day. It is nice to be able to share our experiences from Vietnam with everyone.

I had the very distinct pleasure of serving with Sgt. Hare in Vietnam. He was an experienced soldier when I arrived, and due to his knowledge, even our platoon leader, Lt. Bracey, would seek Joe's counsel before going on patrol, or during patrol to discern what move to make next.

Memorial Day Links: Joe Hare shares three

On this Memorial Day, one Adair County veteran of the Vietnam War is sharing recollections of his wartime and very personal experiences online.

Columbia Utilities Gas Superintendent Joe Hare has a passion for the beauty of Adair County and regularly contributes photographs which need no credit line for most to recognize as his work.

He is fervent in standing up for veterans of all the wars who have maintained the freedoms which allow us to enjoy a placid life we think of as a heaven on earth.

Below are three links we think you'll want to visit today and follow frequently as he continues to expand the archives:
