If you can go to the Wall, DO IT, If you can go to the wall on Memorial Day, DO IT TWICE...... once before attending the ceremonies at Arlington in the morning and again after the wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
"He visited the wall. He cried there."
You too, will feel the emotion rise up in your throat, and yes, you too will cry there. I do each year I can go .
Just be prepared to courteously wait in line for the folks who were there "in country" to have their time with their Brothers encased in the writing on the Wall.
You won't regret it, go and pay respects to our Sons, Fathers & Brothers, Daughters and Sisters who never made it back and the ones who are still waiting to be repatriated.
Yes, like your medic friend, you too, will cry there.
