I appreciate that very much!<BR/>And I am happy that you led me to your interesting blog! Your My World post is great! I like your description of the sad atmosphere when you watched people paying a visit to the Vietnam memorial and searching for the names of their beloved dead.

The way people visit the monument, the little things that they do, speaks mountains about what a heartbreaking time it was in the history of this country. The pain for many has never gone away or even lessened over the years. Beautiful post, beautiful photos.
