Tributes This Memorial Page Established by-SHAWNA TIEDEMANN In Honor Of RAYMOND HAMILTON HELLO ALL MY NAME IS SHAWNA TIEDEMANN AND MY FATHER HAD BEEN IN THE VIETNAM WAR AND WAS EXPOSED TO AGENT ORANGE AND HAS BEEN LIVING LIFE TO IT'S FULLEST AND I AM NOW READING A BOOK CALLED (AN ARMY WAITING TO DIE, THE TRAGEDY OF AGENT ORANGE) AND IT SICKEN ME THAT OUR VIETNAM VETS WERE NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE WAY THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. IT'S AN INTERESTING BOOK TO PICK UP AND READ. I GOT A CALL ON DEC.5TH AT 0148 TEXAS TIME FROM WASHINGTON STATE AND IT WAS THE CALL I WAS NOT WANTING TO HEAR THAT MY FATHER HAD PASSED AWAY IN HIS SLEEP AND HE WAS VERY PEACEFUL AND IN VERY LITTLE PAIN. IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR ME TO DEAL WITH THIS BY MYSELF WHILE MY HUSBAND IS DEPLOYED AND DUE HOME IN A FEW WEEKS AND WE HAVE 3 BEAUTIFUL GIRLS WHO DIDN'T REALLY GET TO KNOW THEIR GRANDPA. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT MY FATHER HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO AGENT ORANGE I DID MY OWN RESEARCH. THANK YOU SHAWNA |
