Faces on a Wall

The Vietnam Wall in Washington is THE most significant and heart-breaking memorial to those who died in war - that I have ever encountered. Showing the first and last series of deaths. So many. So young. Reflecting the faces of the living back at them, over the those names. Haunting.

My father did three tours in Vietnam, it's a shame how many people have forgotten about all the sacrifices THANK YOU ALL

Very beautiful and respectfully done. I was there in '68, we were all so young. Prayers for all my struggling veteran buddies.

I remember when I was 7 years old my brother went in the Marines to Vietnam my whole family dreaded for a year that there was going to be a knock on the door and 2 Marines standing there telling us that my brother was killed there thank God it didn't happen.

My generation. Thank you and God bless

Beautifully done. I was 10 when we lost a dear family friend in 1968 and 14 when another friend was KIA. Significant impression on a young boy. I spent 22 years in the military thinking I would pay something back. Then came my time in the sandbox; sent 19 men home with a flag over the caskets, I escaped the same fate by mere inches. War is just another level of diplomacy. When diplomats stop talking, they send young people to die. Plato said something to the effect of "the only people that do not have to worry about war are the ones who were killed". War sucks

My father served in the Pacific as a Marine during WW2, I served with the Marines in Desert Shield / Storm , and my oldest brother also a Marine in Vietnam, died in a crash of his resupply flight in Dec. 66. We didnt get him home til 1992. But hes home, and my mother needed that. I never really knew him, but i feel his presence in some form each and every day. If you will, please say a prayer for those brothers, sons, and families of those still missing. Thank you and pray for over 70,000 POW/MIA from all wars that havnt made it home.❤

My friend Ambers Andrew "Pete" Hamilton, RIP my brother.....

Every soldier when reconnected to a brother in arms whether they are still alive or passed on is a ritual that no civilian will ever know. A piece of your soul that is restored. All political nonsense stops and what is left is a pure human great experience. Tropic Lightning! No Fear on Earth!

God bless all our Veterans

Wow one of the most beautiful and saddest things I have ever watched just outstanding we look to pay our respects and to never ever forget our fallen brothers and sisters IRON COFFIN Corky West Alabama

So sad. It was sad when I was there in 1969, and it's sad now. I was wounded by a mortar round on December 14, 1969, and spent the next 8 months in army hospitals having surgeries until I was well enough to come home. At the age of 20, I came so very close to having my name on that black wall in Washington, D.C.

Beautifully done....Nam 70-71

I can’t watch! I’m not old enough to remember much of Nam, but do remember the first gulf war on…and this just TEARS me up! The youths who gave for a higher cause! Thank you all!

My dad did 2 tours. He fought in the AShau Valley. Mentally, he’s still there.

Gosh that hurts…
