I'll Google it. About 14 years ago, the moving wall for the Vietnam War, came to my general area. It was very moving and, I'll admit, when I was walking down the wall, I had tears in my.eyes. It didn't help, that my oldest son, was in the Marine Corps at the time. He did two tours in Iraq. He came back in one piece but, perhaps a little crazier than before he did his tours. LOL!
I hope you have an opportunity to revisit Washington DC and take a stroll along the Korean Memorial. I had an occasion to visit there once for one day 6 years ago. The Lincoln, Korean, Vietnam, WWII memorials are what I chose to see. Respective of them all, the Korean Memorial is a spiritual place when standing among the soldiers and really seeing the photos that are emblazoned within the Granite.
On a clear close to dusk evening, its easy to imagine all those young men as they walked upon foreign soil in an open field in hopes of reaching cover on the other side. I could stand at the photo wall for hours, because each time a gaze is given and then another look is returned, something else within the photos begins to materialize to the eye broadening the reality of the larger picture. It is an amazing feat of artistry and tribute.
