I visited the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial on Memorial Day. It is a trek that make annually. I was in the army (1971-74) during the Vietnam conflict.
I read some of the comments on the wall. Sitting near the fountain, the old conflicted feelings came up. I never served in Vietnam. The people on the wall were my contemporaries. I almost came to tears.
I am proud of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. The conflicted feelings I experience will always be 5here, I suppose. No matter, I will keep coming here thanking them in my own way. I was a soldier once. Guess I will always be.
