The Moving Wall™ was assembled at an American Legion post near our house this weekend. It is a half-size replica of the permanent memorial in Washington D.C. The polished black aluminum wall is embossed with the name of every service man and woman who died in the Vietnam conflict. The names are listed in the order in which they died.
It was humbling to see the thousands of names of people I never knew, 58,000 people who gave their lives years ago to assure the peace and security at home that would allow me to take pictures of their memorial on a hot Monday in May, 2011. Thank you all.
