Pat's Comment (Webmaster and Veteran): I want to visit "The Wall" someday. I think everyone should.

Here's a quote taken from http://thewall-usa.com/

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.
Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam
Listed as KIA February 7, 1978

A close friend of mine was a medic in Vietnam. He visited the wall. He cried there.

  • I have visited "The Wall" and am not the same person as a result. My family and I witnessed one veteran taking "many" etchings of names from what we figure were his comrades he lost in the war. We witnessed a second veteran litereally wailing in grief as he leaned on the wall. Those two scenes are forever sealed in our memory. Our visit was in 1998, and we still talk about it from time to time as though it was yesterday.

    I highly encourage everyone to make the trip to DC and especially make time to visit "The Wall".
