Labor of love behind Southwest Florida Vietnam Veterans Memorial For almost 50 years, Vietnam has been etched into Charles Reed’s life. And now he wants to help leave an indelible and historical mark to honor those who fought in the war. Reed is working on two projects. Gary Bowler, president of the Veterans Midpoint Memorial Charitable Trust, his wife Judy, Stuart Berman of North Fort Myers and Renalto Camelio of Cape Coral all have been working with Reed. For 11 years, Reed worked on finding photos of the original 80 fallen Vietnam veterans from Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties whose names are on the Southwest Florida Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He then worked on the rest of the fallen veterans for the State of Florida. He then started working on the original 80 pictures/bios from a simple picture and a story to now include each individual person s medals, ribbons, badges, unit patches and rank, which took a year to complete.
