On
26 July 2004 I opened my email and found a note from Rev Dr Wayne E May, the
webmaster of the Bradley Beach New Jersey Volunteer Fire Department. A
link to Wayne's website is listed below. His department chose my site to receive
their 2004 award so I proudly post it here:
On 1 July 2004 I received a wonderful letter from a woman I met in 2003.
Janet O'Reilly Herron has her own website and helps others with theirs. I
helped her a couple of years ago to find information about her brother who had
served in Vietnam. We became friends through that and also her love of the Fire
Departments. She selected me to
receive this award:
Roberts
Publishing sent me this award as my site is one of their favorites. Thank
you very much to them and their Sales Rep--Joyce McVey.
On 28
January 2003 I received a wonderful note which said:
The Vietnam Experience
website
and Vietnam Veteran Support Network Board wants to recognize
your wonderful efforts at promoting and preserving the history of the Vietnam
experience. You honor all veterans with your writings. Now we wish to honor
your work, including your contributions at calling attention to Martha
Raye.
Proudly display this website award on any and
all of your websites. This award is given on this day - January 28, 2003 to
the Noonie Fortin Website
On behalf of the entire staff and Board of the
Vietnam
Experience,
I received SCOOTER'S ANGEL AWARD from my friend Linda
"Scooter" Watson on 12 June 2001. Her note said: "For being the
ANGEL you are and for being such a great friend. Thank you for ALL THAT YOU
DO!" Thank you Scooter.
On St. Patrick's Day 2000 I was searching the Internet for
information about Sharon Lane. I came across a wonderful site that honored
Sharon as well as other women and men. The woman who made the site has done a
wonderful job with her graphics. Please be sure to visit Jules Patriotic Pages: She Served Too. I signed Jules'
Guestbook and thanked her for having this great site. Before the night was over
I received this award from her for my "Dedication" as well as for my serving and
"still serving" with her thanks.
I was so pleased when Denisse notified me on 10 April 1998 that
my site was selected to receive her award--saying my page was created
nicely.

I was selected to receive the Arts & Media
Award for 1999-2000 from the Tennessee State Council Vietnam Veterans of America
Region Three for my ongoing efforts to pass along information about our women Veterans. The
presentation was made during their convention in Chattanooga on 3 June
