The Moving Wall

Yesterday we took a trip up to Sandstone which is about an hour away from my parents house. We traveled up there to see The Moving Wall. For those who don't know exactly what that is, it's a traveling half-size replica of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. I'm so glad we were able to go. I've been wanting to see the Vietnam Memorial and since I have yet been able to travel to the real thing seeing this was just as rewarding, however it made me want to travel to see the real thing even more. It was so touching and an honor to be able to be able to see it. You feel so close to those names on the wall. I wanted to know the life story of each and every one of the names listed on the wall.

There is a website you can check out with information about the traveling memorial. It is www.themovingwall.org
