The Traveling Wall which honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam is currently in my community. I went out to see it earlier this evening and to pay my respect to my fallen comrades. I know only one person who is on it with certainty (he and I went to high school together), but every time I see the Wall, either in person or the traveling version, I wonder how many others on there I may have known as my time of service covers the period when the buildup began. No, didn't go. Went to Korea instead and the older I get the more I wonder if I should have declined those orders and instead volunteered for 'Nam. Perhaps my service was in the hands of God.

God's blessings on all those who have died in defense of the United States and to those who suffered due to their loss.
