Will be in Effingham, IL Sep 17th - 23rd.....

This should be important to us all. I was to young for Vietnam, but old enough to grow up with it. Had many of friends who served in it and when I came in back in the early 80s, many of my NCO's were Vietnam Vets.

Wife and I travel to D.C. every April to visit the wall. I make graphite and paper shadings off the friends I lost. I cry the whole time I am there but I am not alone. I have hugged many a vet I never met that was at The Wall and we all cry.

I would love to see the traveling wall, I'm sure I can find the touring schedule.

I totally understand the emotions. I visit and find the guy who had my same name and almost the same age. It unplugs me ...so painful.

Got a chance to see the traveling wall several years ago here in Kentucky. It was a humbling experience.
