Vietnam War Memorial

As we left the Abraham Lincoln Memorial we walked along the park and pass the Vietnam War Memorial, a large wall full of over 50,000 names of the brave young men and women who laid down their lives in a small country on the other side of the planet. It was sobering to see so many names and to reflect on so many families impacted by such a large sacrifice. To date 5,550 have paid this price in Iraq and Afghanistan. Perhaps it is time to have these, who would lay down their lives for you and me, return home to their anxious families.
