Honor and Respect, I thee give...


American Memorial; Normandy, France


I'll never forget that moment many years ago.
How I almost fell to my knees. How I welled up with intense tears. The sheer magnitude of what it represents so overwhelming...

Veteran's Memorial Wall, Washington D.C.; designed by an undergrad at Yale in 1991. Click on the pic to enlarge and take a moment to let the enormity of the names listed sink in.

    Hi Kathy,
    Just new to your blog. My dad's name is on that wall and this holiday always finds me a little solemn. I have many friends who have visited and found the experience very moving, especially with a personal link (me) to it.
    Lovely blog, I'll be back!
