Mike Lango WVV Chapter 1
Has Cancer

We have good news. Young Mike was able to talk to the doctors
today and we were told that the CANCER HAS NOT SPREAD to any
other area of Big Mike's body.  As it stands today he will recieve
approximately 7 weeks of radiation and a few sessions of chemo-
therapy, and then he should be back to being the "Big Mike" that
we love and care about so much.

We want to thank everyone and we ask that you
continue to keep him in your prayers while he goes through all of
his treatments.

For all his Viet Nam Vets, we'll see you all at "New Glarus" next year
so we can 'celebrate' this victory!

The Lango Family

"NO WELCOME HOME"
recorded by WWII combat veteran Larry Lee Phillipson
TRIBUTE to VIETNAM VETERANS
who never received the honor or respect  due them upon their return from the war.
The US flag that so many had fought and died for did not ceremoniously wave over the Union it represents.
         Upon discovering that the State of Wisconsin was organizing an event to belatedly acclaim the veterans for the sacrifices they made in
Viet Nam, Phillipson, along with Nashville song writer Cheryl Durham Owens, collaborated on the lyrics and music of "NO WELCOME HOME".
The album title song made its debut during the celebration at Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin

     Phillipson, an 86 year old WWII patriot, served in the US Marines, 4th Division, 2nd Battalion 14th Marines - E Battery.
His combat tour in the South Pacific included Roi Namur, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima.
He is one of the living who stood at the base of Mount Suribachi, under heavy shelling, and watched
"Old Glory" as she was proudly raised.
This was one of the most memorable moments of the Pacific Theater in WWII.
