Good morning, Lignum. This place makes me feel sad and proud. I don’t know anyone listed on the wall or on the walkway, but I feel that I’ve known them. I saw one man wiped dirt from a tile, shouting, “Here. Here. I found it.” Another woman was on the phone. “Is my grandfather’s name on the wall or the walkway?” she asked. My instant reaction was to photo them, but even then I knew that a large part of me wanted to leave them alone so I didn’t photo them. Like you said, this is just one memorial of many…

We should thank you and your family. It’s not easy to be a soldier’s wife!
I talked to a Vietnam veteran today. Quite a nice guy! That made me happy.

Thanks, Yvette. (By the way, I started taking notes on what I have learned so I can give you a good report at the end of the year 😉
