I have been to the wall a number of times. It always sends chills down my spine. I have never seen, nor taken, a picture that seems to express the emotions I feel.

Thank you for this!

I was in Viet Nam As A Navy Hospital Corpsman and saw hundreds of people die. I was a Corpsman working in the intensive care unit on the hospital ship, REPOSE through 1968 & 1969. Of all the deaths I witnessed, I only remember the name of ONE soldier, and that's because his name rang a real BELL with me. It was in 1969 during Chinese New Year, and he had stepped on some kind of land mine, and suffered very severe damage to both feet. It was terrible, but I remember, thinking to myself That "John Shoemaker" may never need shoes again, but at least HE wasn't going to go home in a body-bag.. I was (very sadly, wrong) two days later, he died of massive "Trauma-induced clots to lung and brain." I felt horrible, and many years later, saw the traveling wall in Long beach California, with his name on it.. I cried....for him and all the military HEROS I had KNOWN. I later saw the wall in D.C. And left a note. Your photo certainly "moved me". Thanks, For all our vets, whether anyone else likes it or NOT... BOB (DOC). RJM

Thank you for your touching story, 'Doc'. It often catches me off guard a bit when a situation like yours is presented.
Most of our stories concerning the various periods of combat tend to capitalize on the stories of what happens on the battlefields.
Then there are those in your profession who struggle to keep service members alive and watch many pass away.
I feel it must be (have been) a very hard thing to witness.
Thank you, too, for your service . . .
(I was in 'Nam '67 - '68; but not in a combat position.)

Very much improved ! ! !
For my own preference I would like to see it a bit brighter in the fore ground, just a bit.
What’s that old saying about pleasing the crowd?
