Title: The "Wall" came to my town
Post by: monterey on June 22, 2019, 10:37:12 PM

With the support and effort of a local church and many volunteers.

First time I've seen it.  It was sobering and brought back memories.  I was looking for one specific name and found it with the help of a volunteer.

There were many veterans on the site despite the fact that it was raining off and on.  Most accompanied by friends and family.

I have been to the moving wall twice, last time it was in a town about  half hour away from my house, took me 4 hrs to get there, 50 yrs and  my emotions are still running pretty high.
  Some gave all, All gave some. Rest in peace Bill J.

Over the years I have been to see the traveling wall and the wall in DC a number of times. Usually in the company of fellow Marines from my unit. I will be there in DC on Nov 10th and 11th for a reunion. Then next year as well. Each visit has become more important for me, we an’it youngsters any more, friends are leaving this world to join our brothers on the wall.
