Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall Memorial
I've always wanted to visit the Wall in DC but have never had the oppurtunity (some day I'll make the oppurtunity)
Anywhoo, today is it's first day of a week long visit here in town, and I'm planing on visiting it at least a couple of times and hopefully when they have a ceromony or two.
However, we went last night before it was "officially" opened and walked around. There were a few other people there, but not many. However, it seemed like they were all there visiting friends/family as they were setting some personal stuff at the bottom of the wall that I can only believe belonged to somebody who's name is on the wall.
Had a hard time trying to explain to the kids what the wall was and what it was doing here while at the same time my voice kept breaking and tears kept comming. The girls wanted to know what was wrong and I was unable to explain to them. However, we have a week to go back several times and I'll try and explain to them what was "wrong" with me when we visit the wall.
