Local E3 driver makes the Memorial Day news...

Retired Marine honors fallen soldiers with Vacaville memorial that's very visible from I-80

The flags are hard to miss. Just off of Interstate 80 in Vacaville, and on top of a 450-foot hill, the dozen flags are waving for all to see.

Heartwarming, thank you Mike. My next door neighbor was a 2-tour Huey pilot and has every medal imaginable, some multiple. He didn't have to go back for another tour, but did. Respect and thanks to all the vets!

Thanks for sharing Goble’s Hill with us. I’ll make a point to look for it next time I drive up Interstate 80. Your moving comments so well express the feelings of our generation.

Wow that is really impressive @Mike Goble! Thank you for your service!

Kudos to the local news station with their videography. Not the quality that you usually see from these operations.

Fantastic work Mike. We simply cannot imagine what it must have been like for you and your companions at that time. So thank you for reminding us ... that we are very lucky to be able to fill some of those chairs.

As a result of this story, I have been contacted by a cousin of Capt. John Curran. He wants to meet and climb the hill. What an honor for me.
I have also been contacted by a former friend of Cpl. Richie Strahl who wants to talk about him. You just never know what's next.

Too many of us know a name or names on The Wall. I look first for Warrant Officer Tom Byrd who went down with his chopper early in the war.
