The first time (and only time so far)I went to Washington, DC and saw the memorial Wall, I got chills and goosebumps...the emotions were up--it is so hard to describe. And my family and close friends were not directly affected with Nam...then to turn around and notice the "statue" of the soldiers...I was in tears...

It is so easy for us who are not directly affected with these incidents to forget...

I was amazed to learn that one of my parent's neighbors is the nephew (if I remember correctly) anyhow, related to one of the families that the movie Saving Private Ryan was based on...now holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans' Day mean a little more...

Thanks for posting those lyrics!
