When was the last time you visited a War Memorial? How did you feel about it?

Other than the Arlington cemetery, Vietnam, Korean and Women's Memorial Walls in 2011, I haven't been to another one that I can remember. I have visited other veteran walls, but not war memorial walls after visiting DC

Every time I pass a war memorial including the roadside markers commemorating Civil War and Revolutionary War era conflicts it gives me pause SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
Each year there are fewer unknowns and unaccounted for among our fallen and missing comrades in arms. I thank God that I live in a nation that quietly works to learn where service members remains are and through government and private means recovers the personal effects and remains.
For almost 4 years, I dined in the mess hall where General of the Army Douglas MacArthur spoke in 1962. I have visited it at reunions and I am always struck at the artwork inside the mess hall as well viewing the numerous monuments located around West Point including in the Military cemetery.
I proposed to my wife after showing her the Vietnam Veteran's Wall and the Lincoln Memorial in October 1999. We had left a church conference to spend our shared birthday together and I showed her some of the sites that meant a lot to me.

I am humbled by a simple room; the Pentagon Memorial Chapel. It is, what I call the 9/11 memorial prayer room. It is a reflecting room that gives visitors a window view to the 9/11 memorial outside of the Pentagon. I first visited it with CW5 Sharon Swartworth about a month before she was killed in Iraq in 2003. I find myself visiting that somber place when I most need guidance.

Great post Sarge!

Boston old North Church. I was there last week on vacation. They have a set of dog tags for every service member that has died since the 9/11 attacks.

I visited and spoke at the GWOT Wall of Remembrance when it came to Panama City, FL last year. The ceremony was attended by a large number of Veterans from different services and different wars, and it was very moving to hear their stories and to listen to them reflect on how much they appreciate the sacrifice the warriors of today are making.
