Paul Messier
I am voting in honor of my father, Paul Messier who served in the Pacific in WWII aboard the USS Perkins. He was a torpedoman's mate. His ship was in Tokyo Harbor when the Japanese surrendered, he has pictures of warships in the harbor.
Paul J. McKenney
I am thanking my father for his honorable service as a front line defender in Germany, during the Cold War. He set the example for all those serving in Europe during the mid-80's and was a pioneer in aviation fire support techniques. Hoorah! Great job Dad!
Paul J. McKenney
I wish to show gratitude for my father's service of many years of active duty as a front line defender in Germany during the not so cold Cold War. I feel the need to praise him for his much overlooked service. Thank you Dad, you are an inspiration to your sons, your daughter and the young soldier's and my generation today.
Paul F. Icovitti
My husband Paul Icovitti proudly served in Viet Nam during 1968/69 with the 11th Armored Cavalry HHT Company 2nd Squadron. Paul lived a good life as a husband, Dad, and Grampy until he passed away of Sarcoma due to Agent Orange January 2012. We miss him; his strong love and guidance. God Bless all of our brave veterans who give their all to our great country.
Paul A Lancaster

Oscar U Adams Jr
I am voting for my dad, who is my hero. He fought a good fight so you and me could have freedom, and when he came back he had very bad nightmares and extremely bad headaches ... I love and miss him.
Ollie Olsson
My brother served in Vietnam as a Sergeant with the U.S. Marine Corps. He is a Combat Veteran and a Disabled Veteran. He was in Dong Ha, Northern I Corp from April 68 -May 69. He received 10 ribbons and medals for his service and is 100% disabled service connected. He is part of a Maine family who has always stood by the Veterans. My Dad, Orville "Swede" Olsson, was in the Army in World War II as a Sergeant in the Army in the European Theater.

Norman Palmer
I will vote in honor of my father Norman Palmer who was a member of the Bangor Victory Platoon and was stationed aboard the USS Wasp. Unfortunately he would never discuss the events of the war with us but growing up I could tell the major impact it made on him. Since his death on Christmas Day 2004 I have found pictures of battles as well as the daily bulletins from aboard the Wasp that have filled in some gaps. My thanks to all veterans for everything they have done and seen. Dad was a proud man who felt joining the Navy at 17 was the right thing to do.
