Back to you Sam...It's a long trip from the North West to "The Wall"...but, if you ever have the opportunity..you'll forever appreciate the visit.

For me, it was an epiphany. I walked the walk down and up its path at several visits. I rubbed with graphite/paper the names of guys I knew, played stickball with and had as friends in my youth.

Thank God there is a place for their names to stay. They gave their all; their future, love, a women to love...a child to hug....a family to grow.

As a VietNam Vet, I am proud and humbled to have served with my friends.

Ohhh. There are no words to respond to that. You are so right, I know. Thanks so much for sharing that.

My chances were a lot better of going when I lived in the Chicago area.

The Memorial we have in Portland is beautiful and is Named the "Garden of Solace" It is made up of a series of mini walls along a spiral walkway.
