Nashville Recording Artist Rebecca Linda Smith Performed at the Vietnam Veterans National Memorial in Angel Fire, N.M. Memorial Day weekend 2008.

This is one of two National Memorials for Vietnam Veterans in America. 

There are thousands of visitors every Memorial Day weekend,  this memorial was completed in 1971 by the late Dr. Victor Westphall in honor of his son, LT David Westphall who was killed in Vietnam in 1968,  this is the 40th year anniversary of the death of LT Westphall and there will be a special candlelight vigil on Sunday evening.

 Rebecca Linda will be singing the national anthem for the ceremonies and some special numbers from her recently released Patriotic album, AMERICAN HEROES, including the song, "Never Be Apart Anymore," written by her and her husband, Dr. Robert Frank Smith.  On Memorial Day, she will be performing the national anthem again for the Memorial Day ceremonies with many military and political dignitaries present and performing some other special Patriotic and Inspirational Country songs. 

The Vietnam Veterans National Memorial
 
 Rising dramatically from a hillside overlooking one of northern New Mexico's most beautiful Rocky Mountain valley's this 6,000 square foot national shrine speaks of many things.
 
Not to glorify war, but to honor the men and women who served in Vietnam, as well as all veterans for the selfless sacrifices they made at their country's bidding.
 
The prayer for peace:  A promise of hope for America's future, and an understanding that war is not the answer to our problem.  With the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, the memorial is a place for personal inspiration for reflection on the cost and horrors of war...for respect for those who fought, those who died, and those who came home from war disabled.
 
Constructed by the family of Dr. Victor Westphall, whose son LT David Westphall, was killed in a 1968 enemy ambush in Vietnam, the memorial, is 8,500 feet above sea level and just five miles from the slopes at Angel Fire.  The Westphall family completed the shrine in 1971.  It is supported through the generosity of veterans and other Americans who are dedicated to its preservation.
 
The memorial's textured surface captures the constantly changing sunlight of the clear New Mexico mountains air, giving its walls a subtle play of color that grows vivid at sunrise and sunset.  Inside the memorial, the curving walls enclose a nondenominational chapel and lead to a tall, narrow window thought which visitors look across the tranquil Moreno Valley.  This graceful structure was designed by Santa Fe architect Ted Luna.  The Visitor's Center is open from 9 to 5 in winter, 9-7 in summer, seven days a week, and the Chapel is open 24 hours daily.  The Visitor's Center includes a history of conflict display with videos and memorabilia.  Veteran's can use on site computers to get information about loved ones, Volunteers are available at the Memorial to assist veterans and other visitors with personal issues; and educational tours for school, churches and veterans groups are also available.
 
Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 574
 
Is making a very special invitation to all veterans, especially the Vietnam Veterans, to join us in making a very special healing trip to the Vietnam Veterans National Memorial in Angel Fire, N.M.  If you are having problems with PTSD, I recommend that you pack your gear and make arrangements to take that step that you will never regret.  You will experience some very spiritual, healing, holy moments that I guarantee will stay inside of you forever, and not in a bad way, but in the most peaceful sense.  Your spouse and family are welcome to participate;  they also hurt and need help to understand the reason why we hurt.  Hopefully also, you will be able to communicate a lot better with your loved ones.  We need to start showing pride deep inside ourselves instead of the hurt and bad feelings.  You and your family will be touched in a manner that you have never dreamed.
 
And as a tradition, our Chapter has for many years set up a large mess tent in the area called "tent city."  Our brothers and sisters do a lot of cooking to feed our families and everyone who visits our tent and needs a meal.  We ask our followers to donate twenty-five per family for the weekend, and if you can donate any of the items on the food list, we thank you with open arms.  However, if you cannot afford anything, please don't hesitate to join us;  you are still invited and welcomed;  some day you may be able to help!  A lot of the members leave on Friday, while others get there on Saturday morning on Memorial Day weekend which is on the last Monday in May.  Also, you are welcome to set up your tents, pop-ups, or travel trailers at tent city (no hook ups).  or you can stay at one of the RV places in Angel Fire.  Also, a lot of us rent the condos which are used during the skiing season;  They are beautiful and fit a lot of people.  The cons are rented to us at a very special low price.  When you call for reservations. just let them know you're with the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 574.  The number to call for Condos reservations is 1-800-338-2589,  If you need further information, you can reach, Lucio Moreno, President, Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 574, at 1-915-3872.  Unusually I need to push you to make this spiritual journey the first time.  Thereafter, you will be looking forward to being there on your own.  Brothers and Sisters, take that step that you need so badly, if not for yourself, do it for your family!!

Article on "TIMELESS" ; From HamptonRoads.com

The CD is gospel-filled, but the outstanding offering is a piece of honest-to-Bob-Wills western swing nicely titled “Texas and Tennessee.”

It includes this line: “Texas on my mind, Tennessee not far behind.” As the king of western swing would put it, “ah-ha.”

Smith-Renewed expresses pride in her association with one of gospel’s most important names, Dottie Rambo, who joins her, as does former Shenandoah lead singer Marty Raybon.

The songs, most written by the singer’s husband, Robert Frank Smith, are performed sincerely and well. Special mention must be given the joyous, country-flavored “Everlasting Love.”

Several of the songs by the El Paso, Texas, native are definitely country-flavored. Mention should be made of two that are ultra-inspiring, “A Crown of Thorns” and “Jesus, Lord of My Life.”

The life-enriching release often addresses troubles that can be overcome if one has faith. Smith-Renewed does not try to overpower. She tries to inspire, and she succeeds.

Rebecca Linda Smith - Renewed - Jesus’ Grace

From: SouthernGospelNews.com

Label – Renewed
Producer Gene Higgins
Website – http://www.rlsrenewed.com

Rebecca Linda Smith comes to us from El Paso, Texas. If you like Christian Country Music, then you will enjoy this new project. “Jesus’ Grace”, the title song of the project kicks it off. Rebecca was a co-writer on this song as well as three other songs.

“Redeemed” adds a little country swing to the album. This song is one of several songs from the pen of Rebecca’s husband, Robert Frank Smith. “Jesus, King of Glory” is a nice song written by Robert Frank Smith and moves from country on the chorus to more of a Middle Eastern style on the verses.

Song number 4 on the project, “I Need Forgiveness”, has a driving track. “What About Jesus?” is a nice ballad and better suits Rebecca’s voice. She has a heavy, deep tone that sounds really nice on the ballads from this project. “Jesus, Lord of My Life” has a little touch of an Everly Brothers style to it and picks up the tempo.

“Cleansed by His Blood” is a three quarter time song and more of a traditional Southern Gospel song. Rebecca follows this one up with a good hand clapper, “Victory Song”. This one has some hot harmonica and fiddle on it. “Master, Mend Me”, is another nice song by Robert. “Everlasting Love” is a good up tempo, country flavored song. This one reminds me of something that I would have heard Connie Smith sing a few years ago.

“I Need His Blood” gives us a taste of the fifties and then we progress to more of a driving song with a rocking guitar, “A Crown of Thorns”.

Rebecca has included a classic song from the pen of legendary songwriter, Dottie Rambo. Miss Dottie joins Rebecca on this one and is the highlight of the recording. Rebecca ends the album, with a nice song written by Lisa Brokop and Kim Patton Johnston. “Do You Know Me’ is a song about all the unsung heroes that we pass on the streets everyday.

Rebecca has produced a nice album. There were times that I felt that she was pushing her range a little. This was a long project with 14 songs and most of them 3 plus minutes long. I would invite you to check out Rebecca’s ministry on her website and listen to some of the sound bites.
