Thanks, Misty.
He's awesome and brave and courageous...even if he's pigheaded and uninformed on some issues. LMAO
Thanks for the warm welcome.
A VERY proud Rangersdaughter.

Thanks for sharing your experinece, HiJinx. I know if I ever get there I will be crying the whole time. I must just be getting old and having a harder time controlling my emotions.

Oh, Little One, how could you do that?
That brought back so many emotions, but did you read the guest article? To have actually been there and then come to the memorial to see the names of people you knew...
Darn, gotta get my monitor de-blurred!

Yeah, but you have an excuse...you were there.
I was just a couple of years too young. I looked for extended family members, but found none. I didn't know anyone in High School who went. It's only been in later years that I realized how much of an impact that war had on us.

I am not so sure that is unusual with your age group. I was really surprised by some close friends who were also too young but feel an extraordinary fascination and impact from Vietnam. One friend has a deep desire to research and write about it. Is that really that much different then the deep feelings we all have for Normandy and D-day? Thanks for sharing that. Thanks for keeping those feelings alive for the generation right ahead of you.

HiJinx, I don't think it has a lot to do with "being there".
The impact of seeing ove 50,000 names etched there, knowing that wech one represent some ones father, son, brother, etc. has to stagger the mind of anyone who cares about our country.
So many lives cut short, so many others affected.

No, it's not that different. And as for the next generation, well!
My boys are both aware of the awesome responsibility that comes with citizenship. They were young, but two tours in Germany showed them that America is different, and well worth fighting for.
It's dinnertime here, so I'm going to take a break. I'll see all of y'all in a little while!
