I was present at the 2022 La Crescenta Memorial Day Ceremony, the site of the first memorial dedicated to the Viet Nam War.
My uncle, Michael Najarian is commemorated at this memorial. A local Fox reporter made the connection and asked to interview me live.
Talk about being put on the spot. . .
I remember saying;
I am on the waning end of my 3 decade military career. I tell my friends that when I retire we may never see each other again, but like those who never came home, a day will not pass when I don’t think of my brothers and sisters whose sacrifice and service made our way of life possible. To some those may only be names on a wall, but to a veteran they are constant reminders that all gave some, but some gave all.
