Visiting the "MOVING WALL"

June 24, 2007..... Bruce and I got together with our good friends, Vaughn & Debbie, to take a drive out to Clayton to visit the "MOVING WALL"..... It had been in town a few days and we wanted to visit it before it left.... There was this huge pavilion type building set up where people could get assistance looking for names of loved ones or even aquaintances of those who sacrificed their lives during the Viet Nam War.... It was simply amazing how well organized this was.... We had no trouble locating the names we were looking for...... and the volunteers assisting us were just so helpful and pleasant.....


They had tables sit up with huge books and computers to enable them in their search....


They also provided food and beverages for those interested.... Like these two fellas here... Just trying to keep up their strength until the next meal....

This chart held the names and pictures of a couple of fallen soldiers from our county who would be mentioned later in a special ceremony for "Gold Star" families....

Vaughn and Debbie looking through the book to locate the names of a couple of soldiers Vaughn knew when he was in the military (navy)....

Here's an old veteran ...... Still remembering those he served with.... and maybe even a few of those who didn't make it home......

Thanks to all of them.... Alive.... KIA.... POW..... and those still serving today.....FREEDOM CONTINUES TO REIGN!!!

AND THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN..... NEVER.....

Thank YOU.... each and everyone of YOU.... for all you've given.... for all you've sacrificed... For all we have today..... BECAUSE OF YOU!!!
