Description

If you have never visited “The Wall”, the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial, you are missing and opportunity to see unscripted, heart wrenching tributes to our fallen heroes.   At times, I am almost ashamed to be taking photographs.  This man used a pencil to outline the name of a loved one, family or friend, on a small piece of paper.  He did it twice with the help of a Docent volunteer.  When the second one came out, he simply bowed his head.

If you visit, and walk away dry eyed I would be surprised.  I did.  And I didn’t.
