Let all not forget the ones that died after they came home, be it from Cancer, suicide, wounds from the war and the mental wounds that afflicted to many of them. Remember the ones that gave up and withered away, love all you guys. You won the war, the liberal politicians lost the war. God Speed Ron. 173rd Airborne Brigade Charlie Co 1/503rd. Dak To 1967 to 68. RIP 1995

Thank you for this presentation, yorkie.

I had the honor of visiting The Wall back in ‘95. As I searched for a high school classmate I discovered another classmate on the next panel over.

I’ve also had the honor to visit the Traveling Wall on three occasions.

Salute to my fallen brothers............two.
