So proud of Google today. They are commemorating Memorial Day! Great job!!!!!!
Which panel of the Wall? I want to add it to my visit-list when the Traveling Wall makes it’s annual local appearance. May Andrew Chowka Rest In Peace.
That says it all.
ANDREW DANIEL CHOWKA
is honored on Panel 44E, Row 45 of
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

thanks!
But I'm not getting the big brown whatever being held over the boy's back, as the GI's duffel is on the ground next to them.
Wierd. When I type in ‘google.com’, it defaults me to ‘google.ca’, where there is a Mountie saluting. When I try again to type in ‘google.com’, it continues to default to ‘google.ca’. When I click the link to ‘google.com’, it takes me there, but there is no image or anything to suggest anything about Memorial Day. I assume that the display of a graphic is automatically determined by the ‘home’ server of the person viewing the site. I guess that the PC types running Google must think that ‘furreners’ would be insulted by seeing even the slightest nod to patriotism on a US website.
He is hugging the little girl.
Yea, that could be it .. I was ‘seeing’ two different GIs .. thanks
You are welcome.
: )
Thank you, but it ... did ... get your attention, no?
Thank you for the exact reference. I have always known it was the 1969 year section. Knowing his name “made it”, was enough for me. Since there have been many miles and years, when The Travelling Wall came to where I lived at the time, imagine all the dread, as I sat there, comparing my high school yearbook, with the catalogue of listed names. Andy died the year before I stood up, and took The Oath.
Lots of news about where Obama will be on Sunday-—Oklahoma....
No news about where he will be on Monday......HHmmmmmm
Probably with Bill Ayers, living the ‘choamlife’.
At the Wall now for the opening wreath ceremony. I will visit the panel tonight and pay our respects.
Thank you. I think Terry would want to know too. I hope you'll tell us all about it.
Mission accomplished, photos tomorrow.
