The Virtual Wall

My DH is a Vietnam veteran. One of his Navy buddies sent him this website. Many of us on the forum had friends and relatives in the war. Thought you might be interested in viewing.

Thank you, sent this on to my many friends that had relatives and friends in Viet Nam. Great site!

Thanks for sharing that wonderful site.
I visited the wall several times when working n D.C.; could never make it passed without crying.

I've seen the memorial in DC. It was quite awe inspiring. They offered paper and a fat pencil (don't know what it would be called) so you could make a rubbing of someone listed. I've also seen the traveling wall when it was in Alaska.

We saw the traveling wall when it was here in Whatcom County. That in itself was amazing. To see the one in Washington DC would be awesome. Thanks for sharing.
