I hope you will have photos to share. I haven’t seen the traveling wall.

Carol, I am the wife of an Air Force vet that was assigned to SE Asia twice. Visiting that wall can be difficult, but also, we can't forget the sacrifice of those men and women. Thanks for posting these excellent images. The Wall is so simple, but so powerful.

Thanks for posting those shots of “The Wall.” Brings back memories. And the second photo is stunning. Including the Washington Monument in it was sheer genius. Really tells a story. Great job.

You certainly caught the art of the Vietnam War Wall memorial. The feeling is always intense. And you have put that feeling in your photos. Thanks. We need to be reminded more often of what the consequences of war are. To help us think of better ways to solve our problems.

For a person of my age, having graduated in 1968 from high school, and being a part of the draft lottery, it is the monument in D.C. that affects me the most, as I lost some high school classmates in Vietnam. The Vietnam War veterans as a group were probably the least appreciated veterans. Now veterans are treated like gods in many respects. I had a college roommate who was in Vietnam for two years and he would NEVER talk about it, even when drunk. There is a traveling version of the wall that is very good which I saw once in Seattle. Nice images.

Thanks, I've been to the wall, served with many of those engraved in it. At first it received a lot of negative publicity, people finally came to understand it. Very moving. I lost about 1/3 of my Infantry OCS class in Nam, many others died later from PTSD effects. Those names are not on the wall.
