We applaud all you who served in Vietnam War. My loving cousin Raymond served in Vietnam War. Sadly he committed suicide when he came home and saw his wife in bed with another guy after he returned home from Vietnam. I was in shock. But Raymond came to me from above and said He see heaven. He is Not in hell. Raymond told me ..."I only need 2 more masses said at Catholic Church and I will be heaven." So I had 2 more masses said...Now Vietnam Vet like you is in heaven forever. I pray you go too. GOD Bless All of You. We love you. ❤🙏🙏🙏

Remember to read the Wall. Or at least read a few names, even if those names are unknown or meaningless to you. The Wall is there to be read, to be touched, and to let its shiny blackness printed all over, touch your heart. Behind every entry on that wall there is a fallen soldier, or marine, a navy guy, or a flyer, and they are holding their names, so you mention one aloud, or in quiet murmur. Copy a name if you can, at least one of those names, and try to remember at least one name. If a name is one you've kept always in your heart because is your son's, or your husband's, or your brother's, then touch it again, and again during this visit to the Wall, and touch it again during your next visit. It's your burden of love, it's your rightful touch of pain and love. And while you are next to the Wall, you are not alone, your trip is not a lonely one. The Wall is there for all.
