Leaving the Lincoln Memorial
Waiting for the rest of the group to catch up
Next we went to the Vietnam Memorial. This Memorial is a long wall with the names of each of the soldiers killed in action or MIA by year for the entire wall. As I walked down the wall I just be chance happened to see the name of the father of one of my childhood friends. The number of names on the wall is staggering. It really puts in perspective the costs of war.
