Very Nice thanks for the link and lookin forward to the pics

 

Richard,

As a Vietnam Vet I thank you for your interest and participation in this event.

The Traveling Wall came to Payson, AZ in June of 2008 and I thoroughly enjoyed my participation as a volunteer. I even got in on helping to erect the Wall.

It was pretty sobering and quite emotional to see the names of men I knew and will never forget. My Avatar is in rememberance of all who have served and will serve.

That's great, Thanks for the pics Richard

JMO but The Wall is one thing the gov did get right, it is a moving experience to stand there & look at all those names

 

Great pics Rich. I would have been honored and proud to be apart of it.

 

I had the pleasure of visiting "The Wall" in DC in 1985. I was 18 yrs old and had only been in the Army for a few months and I couldn't believe the emotion that it brings when standing in front of it. Being so young I didn't really understand what it was all about until I stood there reading the names. It's a moment that I'll never forget.
Thanks Richard for your support.

 

Thanks guys for the Thank yous. I have a lot of friends that are Vietnam Vets an Uncle to, and I feel that they should get a Welcome Home just the same as any Solder that has gone out and fought for are Country. My Dad is a Korean War Vet and I thank him for his service every chance I get.

 

Richard, thank you for posting the pictures. I went to "The Wall" one time about 20 years ago and I still have not forgotten the experience. My hands were attracted to the name of my friend like iron is to a magnet...it was an unreal emotional experience.
