The Traveling Wall is in Modesto, CA through Monday, Veteran's Day.

Over the four days "The Wall" is here, they will be reading the names of those who gave all for this great nation. Some personal friends, also some who I served with during that time are written on "The Wall."

Without objection, I will represent my fellow vets from FR and all FR personnel as I spend time at "The Wall" to honor their service and memory this weekend.

SALUTE!
