    Lots of young 17 and 18 year old kids on that wall. May God bless every man and woman on that wall. 🇺🇸

    I went to DC recently and visited this memorial. My Dad told me that my grandpa had gone to it 10 years ago and found the names of people he knew or met when drafted. My grandfather never saw combat but saw the aftermath of it as a medic. To all those who lost friends and family I am so sorry and may their sacrifice never be in vain.

    The traveling walls that go around the entire nation are equally as important and memorable. Whomever came up with those ideas and made them happen have done an amazing thing by making visits to the wall accessible to millions of people who have not had the opportunity to go to the original in Washington DC.

    I was there in the early 90's, not a combat veteran but a veteran of the U.S. Army and it took my breath away. Hallowed Ground.

    I’ve been in the Army for 21 years, and am still going. My father was in the Army for 23 years. When I visit the Vietnam Memorial, there’s always a strong calm and quiet to it. Almost like you can hear the people who are etched to that wall. A different time.

    Touch a name, even if it is not one you know of. Look through the Wall. You know you see yourself reflected on its shiny blackness, but by doing so, you become part of the Wall, and therefore, part of the conscience that the Wall grows with, beyond the total number of its names.

      США будуть трактувати великі натовпи українців як терористів ! Республіканці є змовними та колективними членами кремлівської мафії. Вільна сирійська армія була сформована союзною армією, до якої приєдналися США. пообіцяв постачати багато зброї, мутацію ворога через кілька років, перейменованого як Аль-Нусра, Аль-Каїда і так далі за офіційним рішенням адміністрації США і так далі .... . Так буде з багатьма батальйонами України.
