In 'Nam we seldom had a day without rain so riding wet with Rolling Thunder's 1244 or Door County's "Rubber hits the Road" only brought back memories of drying out before moving out! Don't miss our www.youtube.com video shot while our ride paused at Door County's Fallen Heroes Memorial in Sturgeon Bay.

Our primary mission was to safely deploy 5 Honor Riders with Rolling Thunder's 1244 riding out of La Crosse to LZ Lambeau while at the same time deploying 5 from KIA gravesites in Door County to LZ Lambeau on Friday, May 21, 2010. The 1244 represent the number of Wisconsin solders killed in action, missing in action, or who were prisoners during the Vietnam War. All Door County riders made it safely to LZ Lambeau. Two of Rolling Thunder's riders went down in the rain on the way to La Crosse suffering only minor injuries. Three went down in the rain during the first deployment sending one to the hospital, and one went down later in the day suffering minor injuries but totaling his bike. The FAA grounded the chopper planning to fly over the 1244.

Our primary mission was to guard the Moving WALL while landing Door County Vietnam vets with KIA family members safely on the ground at LZ Lambeau Saturday May 22, 2010. We all landed safely in-country!

We answered roll-call, signing a parking lot size map of South Vietnam!

We reconnected with comrades and shared "war stories" and common experiences!

We hugged, saluted, and prayed with "Golden" Mothers!

Golden Mothers are the mothers of solders on the WALL!

Washington Islanders paused from coast to coast on the Island, organized a special service at Door County's Fallen Heroes Memorial, and reflected at the Moving WALL in honor of their fallen USMC Lance Corporal Richard E. Perez. Rick was scheduled to leave for home on September 22 when he was killed by a fragmentation grenade in Quang Nam province on September 6, 1969; sixteen days before he would have safely landed home on the Island.

Rolling Thunder escorted the Moving WALL out of town Monday morning, May 24, 2010

Pioneer 1 packed up and moved out at high noon!

We salute our fellow veterans and applaud Door County residents for their heart warming "welcome home" and shouts of support as our Ride-for-Five wound through Door County on its way to LZ Lambeau. We cried and beamed with pride along the way! We'll never forget your signs, banners, and shouts of encouragement. Almost everyone on our "Ride-for-Five" out of Door County and our ride for 1244 out of La Crosse reported crying as they realized the welcome they knew was there but had never really felt.

I guarantee We'll never forget our welcome home. Rich Woldt 68 - 70

Life Safety had to come first! Our only mission glitch came when the threat of rain forced us to deploy early from Northport. With two bikers, not ours, already down in the rain on their way to La Crosse, another three down in the first wave out of La Crosse, it starting to rain in Green Bay, was sprinkling in Sturgeon Bay, I made the call to deploy the moment the ferry docked in Northport in order to reach at least Sturgeon Bay on dry roads. Staging area #2 deployment went better than expected so we were past Gibraltar High School before students had time to fall out and form a flag line. Note: I posted an apology to the school the moment I realized they hadn't heard our passing sirens.

Our early deployment was entirely for safety reasons. At 4 a.m. I had learned it was pouring rain in La Crosse and two bikers had gone down in the rain on the way to La Crosse, suffering minor injuries. At 5:30 I learned our riders were standing mission ready in the rain. They were OK but had already needed one first aid kit, and had lost one flasher in the rain. at 6:30 I learned three bikers had gone down in the first wave with one taken to the hospital and one bike said to be totaled. Knowing it was already raining in Green Bay and sprinkling in Sturgeon Bay, I made the call to mount-up and move-out the moment the ferry landed at Northport.

THANK YOU OB1!

Vietnam Vets across the state thank NEWBA's President Owen "OB1" Bergwin for his support and dedication throughout the LZ Lambeau planning year.

OB1 rode with Rolling Thunders' 1244 soaked to the bone in the second wave out of La Crosse. He worked in the Rolling Thunders' food stand, attended countless meetings, and stood with us at every turn. Thanks OB1! You're a friend of veterans around the world. Any single women vacationing in Door County would be wise to have you as an escort.

and THANK YOU Fingers for riding with the 1244 and so much more!

THANK YOU Honor Riders!

Vietnam Vets were proud to ride with members of the TITAN MC and Door Devil Motorcycle Clubs,


Door County's "Ride for Five" with Rolling Thunder's 1244 was ridden by Owen "OB1" Burgwin for Richard Perez, Eric Peil for Dan Phister, Joe Rockwell for David Schaefer, Karen "Finger" Nicholson for Phil Overbeck, and Michael "Saint Michael" Burgwin for Randy Wagner.	Door County's "Ride for Five" was lead by Emmett VanGorver riding for Randy Wagner, Ken Suess for Dan Phister, Tim Gauthier for Richard Perez, Joe Stich for Dave Schaefer and Frank Mack riding for Phil Overbeck.

.... and with Rolling Thunder, Patriot Guard, Warriors' Watch and clubs too many to mention...

Vietnam vets send a special THANK YOU to Pioneer Credit Union's CEO Tom Young, Wisconsin credit union chapter leaders, the Wisconsin Credit Union League, and members of the World Council of Credit Unions for their financial council and liquidity management support offered honor riders traveling to LZ Lambeau from across the country and around the world.

Wisconsin Credit Unions resupplied our M.P.C and Green Backs?

We enlisted the support of the world credit union movement. FYI: The Door County Community Credit Union, organized in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin is now a branch of the Pioneer Credit Union located two blocks due south of LZ Lambeau. Pioneer CU joined our "Unified" command to mentor our Chiefs of Finance. This helped ensure all internationally recommended internal, audit, and collection control procedures were followed. They also consulted on security and safety with our Planning, Operation, and Logistic Chiefs.

Thank you "Lambeau Credit Union" in Tobago, West Indies. We salute them from "Lambeau Field" the home of the World Champion Green Bay Packers! My promise made - is a promise kept! Rich Woldt

Thank you International Credit Union Risk Managers in Scotland, Ireland, England, Poland, Jamaica, South Korea and beyond... for observing and benchmarking our ability to move a segment of our population out of harms way when faced with a natural disaster, terrorist attack, or pandemic requiring a mass evacuation or the need to segment our population.

Veterans once again thank McDonalds and Walmart for the gift cards and their help to field test our mass-evacuation tracking protocols.

Both honor rides were used to field test "private sector" mass-evacuation protocols that would be used during a natural disaster, pandemic, terrorist attack, or large scale community crisis whose scope overwhelms or whose duration exhausts public sector response assets.

Sunday: Operation was a ecumenical kite flying celebration of our religious traditions and Christian heritage. Five kites bearing the picture and panel patch of our 5 KIAs were launched with a brigade of kites from Hansen's Century Farm across Hwy 42/57 from Shepherd of the Bay Lutheran Church (11836 Hwy 42) just south of Ellison Bay.

All Door County veteran organizations are in dire need of members. We're finding it increasingly difficult to find vets healthy and able to march in parades or take part in fundraisers and honor guards at funerals.

"Please encourage all vet's to join and support a veteran organization near their home!"

As always, let your voice be heard!

Note: some of these links are old and may not work.

Thank You Senator Ron Johnson for helping to defeat the Coburn' Amendment #564. Considering Tom Coburn is a fellow Republican I think he deserves a trip to the Wisconsin woodshed. We salute the Door County's VFW, American Legion, AMVET Posts and Marine Corp League taking part in "Operation Kill the Coburn' Amendment #564." While we won this skirmish Click here, the budget war and battle with those who consider Jane Fonda someone to admire has just begun. Note AARP's pro Jane Fonda article in their November publication. I'm cancelling my membership, insurance, and support of AARP at the end of my current enrollment.

Click here to contact your State Legislators. Click here to contact the U.S. House of Representatives. Click here to contact the U.S. Senate. And click here to contact your Door County CVSO and join your hometown post.

Action requested! Contact your U.S. Senators and tell them Senator Tom Coburn's (R-Oklahoma) Amendment #564 to H.R. 2055 is a deal breaker with Vietnam Vets.

FYI: Coburn wants to change the manner in which presumptive disabilities related to Agent Orange exposure are determined. He wants us to again prove the positive connection between exposure to Agent Orange and the 15 presumptive illnesses that have already been recognized by the VA. We need to fight Coburn and his amendment #564 as we fought through Agent Orange to knock out Charlie sympathizers hiding behind their desks in Washington.

We can not allow this amendment to pass. For decades we fought to convince Washington that exposure to Agent Orange was killing our troops. Now that the VA Secretary has the scientific proof we need to guard against guys like Coburn pulling the rug out from under us in an effort to balance their budget. Not on our watch!

Effective 1-1-11... I'll use this and my post website www.VFWPost8337.com to promote "private sector" Homeland Security response protocols taught through my Risk Management Learning Center and RMLC Graduate School. (learn more).

Field Tests: The 1244 and Door County memorial rides were used to field test RMLC' recommended Emergency Operation Center (EOC), Staging Area (SA), as well as mass-evacuation, troop safety, and supply line security protocols recommended during a large scale community crisis such as a terrorist attack, natural disaster, or pandemic.

It's time crat, RDoor County Veteran' Mission Statement:

Under the direction and control of our County Veteran Service Officer, we will recruit all veterans living or working in Door County to join the VFW, American Legion, AMVET, and/or Marine Corp League Post nearest their residence with a special effort to enlist veterans coming off active duty.

Note: All Door County veteran posts are in desperate need of members to support our military honors program at funerals, fundraising for needy vets, scholarship programs, etc. We have an increasing number of veterans coming off active duty suffering with war wounds, PTSD, unemployment, and family stress brought on by multiple deployments.

We will launch a basic training initiative to ensure all Door County veterans are familiar with Incident Command System and stand mission ready to join a "Unified" command when the scope of a natural disaster or terrorist attack overwhelms, or it's duration exhausts our public sector response asset.

Note: Veterans organizations are well position to respond to the hierarchy of victim needs. The ICS is required training for all Wisconsin law enforcement, fire fighters, and emergency government. It's used by all Wisconsin' Homeland Security Public-to-Private Partnerships and private sector volunteer organizations such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc. Go to www.Cops007.com for more information.

Thanks to all advocates who joined the fight! The Senate passed S. 210 , the Stolen Valor Act last night. Below is the link to the new alert and a letter you can send to thank your Senators. We were able to get through to all 100 Senate offices! Kudos!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

It's time; no it's past time for us to circle our wagons, take up arms and stand mission ready to protect and defend our homeland. Like all internationally known tourist destinations, Door County affords terrorists their five top target characteristics.

A high first strike body count to inflict maximum trauma across international boundaries.
Vulnerable mass-evacuation routes providing terrorists secondary targets and strike opportunities.
Vulnerable communication links and infrastructure assets that if neutralized would isolate Door County. .
We have in-place mass media assets to neutralize or commandeered and used to their advantage.
We have limited public sector first-response assets guarding a pre-softened population.

Door County is a sitting target. We need veterans both on active duty and those return from active duty to immediately join a veteran organization nearest their home. Door County veterans need to be constantly briefed on the most current military training and latest military strategies tested in Iraq and Afganistan.

The origin of the “Battlefield Cross”

The origin of the “Battlefield Cross” dates back to before the Civil War, to a time when fallen soldiers, in the heat of battle, were buried on the battlefield. The fallen soldier’s rifle with bayonet attached would be stuck at the head of the grave and their helmet placed on top to identify the soldier. After the battle was won, their comrades in arms would return and conduct what’s now become the traditional graveside service, to include placing a makeshift headstone and flag to mark the grave, firing a “three-shot” volley over the grave, and starting during the Civil War, the playing of Taps.

The origins of “Taps,” dates back to the Civil War: In July 1862, U.S. General Daniel Butterfield and his brigade were camped at Harrison’s Landing, Virginia, recuperating after the Seven Days Battles near Richmond. Dissatisfied with the standard bugle call, Butterfield reworked the bugle call used to signal the end of the day. Not long after, it was played for the first time at a military funeral, for a Union soldier killed in action. The commanding officer (Captain John Tidball) felt, when on the front-lines, it would be safer to sound Taps, than fire off the traditional three-volley salute over the soldier’s grave.

Ø Prior to Butterfield’s bugle call, the lights-out call was followed by three drum beats, originally dubbed the “Drum Taps,” than “The Taps” and then simply “Taps.” When Butterfield’s call replaced the drum beats, soldiers unofficial dubbed it their “Taps.” Butterfield’s bugle call was officially known as “Extinguish Lights” in American military manuals until 1891. Since that time, “Taps” also has been a formally recognized part of U.S. military funerals.

Ø Today at Berkeley Plantation, the historic estate located at Harrison’s Landing, there’s a monument commemorating the origins of “Taps” at the site. Berkeley Plantation also happens to be the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison V, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and William Henry Harrison, the nation’s ninth president.

Words to Taps (Note: There ere are no "official" words to Taps below are the most popular.)

Day is done,

Gone the sun,

From the hills,

From the lake,

From the skies.

All is well,

Safely rest,

God is nigh

Go to sleep,

Peaceful sleep,

May the soldier

Or sailor,

God keep.

On the land

Or the deep,

Safe in sleep.

Love, good night,

Must thou go,

When the day,

And the night

Need Thee so?

All is well.

Speedeth all

To their rest.

Fades the light;

And afar

Goeth day,

And the stars

Shineth bright,

Fare thee well,

Day has gone,

Night is on.

Thanks and praise,

For our days.

'Neath the sun,

'Neath the stars,

'Neath the sky,

As we go,

This we know,

God is nigh.

Attention Door County students heading for Washington DC to visit The Wall!

Thank you for stopping at the Wall for all of us who've yet to make the trip!

Whether you make it to the Wall during this trip, or not, isn’t what’s most important. What’s most important, is you travel safe and know, when you take the time to visit any of our nation's war memorials, you're helping us all to heal, from the loss of lives we suffered securing our freedom, defending our homeland, and preserving our liberty for generations yet to come.

I've put together a short tutorial, that highlights what's being taught to law enforcement officers, fire fighters, and emergency government personnel (EMTs) around the world. It's a short course in what you can do, before you leave Door County, so you're prepared to act, if and when, you're confronted by a sudden and unexpected, life threatening event. You'll learn how to "take command" and lead your fellow students out of harm's way.

You'll learn what to look for, and what to do, and not do, during a mass evacuation, terrorist attack, bomb threat, major fire, or traffic accident. Equally important, you'll learn how to stay connected to your home base in Door County throughout your trip, and how to muster our entire county to your rescue anytime you find yourselves in harm's way.

God Bless!

Richard Woldt – Past Commander VFW Post 8337 Liberty Grove, Wisconsin

Now is the time for "all veterans" to stand and fight. It's an easy mission to join. All veterans need to do is email Door Country Veterans Service Officer, or call her at 920-746-2225 for a briefing they'll never regret.

There is little doubt, if we don't aggressively recruit new members for all Door County veteran organizations, we're eventually going to lose our ability to stand our post, safeguard veteran benefits already promised, and support our troops returning to civilian life. With battles yet to be won, boarders yet to be secured, and veterans yet to be backed, now's not the time to let down our guard.

Allow me to suggest: Families, go together and purchase a life time membership in one of our three VFW posts for your solder returning from combat. For your marine; purchase a life time membership in our Marine Corp Detachment. And don't forget those who qualify to belong to AMVET post 51 or one of our four American Legion posts.

In 'Nam we seldom had a day without rain so riding wet with Rolling Thunder's 1244 or Door County's "Rubber hits the Road" only brought back memories of drying out before moving out! Don't miss our www.youtube.com video shot while our ride paused at Door County's Fallen Heroes Memorial in Sturgeon Bay.

We answered roll-call, signing a parking lot size map of South Vietnam!

We reconnected with comrades and shared "war stories" and common experiences!

We hugged, saluted, and prayed with "Golden" Mothers!

Golden Mothers are the mothers of solders on the WALL!

It's time crat, RDoor County Veteran' Mission Statement:

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

http://capwiz.com/vfw/issues/alert/?alertid=62685126

A high first strike body count to inflict maximum trauma across international boundaries.
Vulnerable mass-evacuation routes providing terrorists secondary targets and strike opportunities.
Vulnerable communication links and infrastructure assets that if neutralized would isolate Door County. .
We have in-place mass media assets to neutralize or commandeered and used to their advantage.
We have limited public sector first-response assets guarding a pre-softened population.
