Quiet and moving geek out.
Smiley read the whole thing aloud.
Abe & me.
On to the Vietnam memorial.
Of course we needed to look up a family member--so we found two men who had our family's last name. Must be distant relations--or at least they are today.
Wreath from some respectful Vietnamese group. Humbling.
Found the name.
Making rubbings.
On to the WWII memorial--great to see after our studies this past year, and visiting the WWII museum in New Orleans.
One of my favorite stories in recent history was when the government was "shut down" and a group of WWII veterans stormed their memorial. Awesome. A truly American response to a shameful political ploy.
California!
