I don't know how many of you have seen this. I thought it was well worth sharing.

A remembrance to fallen heroes. May they Rest in Peace.

That is incredibly cool, thanks for posting!

I've always wanted to visit the memorial in person. I have only one relative that I knew would be named.

Never knew him but I knew his dad. His dad was a good man ,proud of his son . He passed 20 years ago of cancer.I used to service his water softener I ll never forget ,he was sick and went to the doc. They ran tests and cut him open and sewed him back up. They told him to go home and get his affairs in order ,he lived 3 months. Last time I saw him he was bad off and he told me he wouldn't be around next month when I came by. He was right .

I see his sons name on out memorial right smack in the center of town almost every day

I went to the World War II Memorial dedication in 2004 got a chance to see the other memorials while I was there.

The Vietnam Memorial. Wow, how do I describe that? When you walk past the names of the fallen you can feel this "power" that comes from the Wall. Makes my skin crawl thinking/talking about it because of what I felt. You can't be prepared for it, it hits you that hard.

I've been to the Memorial in DC and the mobile Memorial when it was in Oklahoma City. Very emotional for many. I've worn two POW/MIA bracelets from Vietnam and both their names are on the wall. I gave one to an Army bud and I don't wear the other one. I currently wear a Korea MIA that went missing in '51. I've had the current bracelet on for 12 years, the name I've been wearing for 20+ years.
