The Wall.  The Vietnam Memorial wall.  Is amazingly simple and moving!

  1. I love this memorial, but I cried so much when I visited! It was moving to see the reverence of the people who visited and paid their respects. I wish these memorials were not necessary . . .

  2. That is something else I would love to visit. I think I'd be just like Maria and cry. What a moving monument.

  4. Definitely a moving memorial to visit! About 5 years ago, I found the name of the brother of my college roommate while there and photographed it for her. It was such a brutal time to live through. I'm about to start reading "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien about the Viet Nam War, and will probably head back to your blog to look at this again while I read it.
