Thanks, Mr. Jim. May go by there. Don't know. Some memories are best as memories. God bless out fighting men and women.

Gary is right........I have been to the real one and it was very moving.....I don't know that I want to go back, too many names on there of people that I knew. I think one visit was enough for me.

My. Uncles name is on the one in Washington. I was in shock when I saw how big it was. Went there with my Dad. I think it was the only time I've seen him cry...

Your Dad is not alone. It is the most moving thing that I have encountered in the civilian world.

I would have to agree. Vietnam happened before my time, but when I was a child we went to Washington and made a stop at the wall. It was one of 2 time I can remember my father crying. I will never forget that moment. I cant comment on the mechanics behind that war, but I can say I make sure my children are aware of the sacrifice that was made, not just in this war but all of them. THank you to the service men and women!
