Vietnam Memorial Wall


A traveling replica of the Wall is currently in East Hartford, CT at Rentschler Field. I went tonight to view the Wall and to watch the Marine Corps Battle Color Detachment which includes the Color Guard, Silent Drill Team and Drum and Bugle Corps.

The first time I saw the wall in D. C. I was overwhelmed with emotion. It seems the Wall does that to people. Tonight the same thing happened viewing the replica. I was so overcome with emotion/grief I had to leave before the performance started.

God Bless all of them for their sacrifice in all wars where American blood has been spilled.
