I am heading out to DC for the 25th memorial of the Vietnam Wall being put up. If anyone is there, I plan to be at TFI Friday at Foggy Bottom 11:30 a.m. on both the 11th and 12th so please join me. After that I will head out for events at the wall..and will want to go alone.

I hope to also visit the Korean memorial which I only went to once..in the foggiest of nights..my friends had no jackets and put blankets around their heads to stay warm and then we got there and there were all these statues with ponchos on and you could not tell the living from the dead in the fog..which is how it usually is I guess.

I would like to present the name of Daniel Emmett Cahalan, a far distant cousin who popped up in my family tree. I don't know much, other than it seems he was a POW in Korea and "repatriated". I do not know ifthat means he was brought back alive or dead..

Here is a song for him and others of the Korean and all wars..tune is a tweaked Dainty Davy. Please remember the Korean veterans on this day.

Those we left there in the cold we remember we remember
Have no fears of growing old
Oh do we remember

Those who fell in prison yards we remember etc.
Savage weather savage guards

Those who died face down in mud
Asian soil Yankee blood

Heartbreak Ridge and Porkchop Hill
If we don't honor them who will

Those whose names we can't forget
Comrade spirits with us yet

Those who died when far too young
It is for them (and Daniel Cahalan) this song is sung
Oh do we remember
