The Wall honoring the Vietnam Veterans was setup for this weekend at a neighboring town.
It was setup outside at the local High School. They also had a Huey on display, and several active duty soldiers to answer questions...
I saw the Wall about 8 years ago for the first time. I couldn't believe the reality that set in when I saw it. The feeling is still the same the second time.
My son Travis was only about 5 years old and doesn't remember much from the first time, so we wanted to take him today.
My moms cousin was K.I.A after only being in Vietnam a short time. He was a door gunner. I found his name the first time and traced it out on a piece of paper. Today I remembered to take the camera and got a picture of it.
This display had expanded and included new displays honoring Veterans from recent deployments as well.
They also had a display of all the Presidents pictures. This isn't meant to be political, so I won't share my comments on how I felt when I saw the picture of the current Commander in Chief.
It was a great day for honoring those that served and are still serving. But then again, every day is.
