    Sorry to hear about your brother.

    I was in 'Nam in '65 and went to visit the wall around '70. Only got to the walkway and stopped. Just couldn't bring myself to go any further.

    I haven't been back since.

    I was there in 71/72 and have never been to the wall. 25 years? Man, it doesn't seem that long ago.

    One of my good friends is on it.

    Lambo, sorry for your loss.

    I'm not in the service, nor have I ever been... I wasn't even born when Vietnam was going on. I very much appreciate all those who are serving, and have served our great country.
    Pictures of the wall make the hair on my neck stand up, I can only imagine what the feeling would be in person.

    I salute your brother. Sorry for your loss.

    I am a Nam Vet myself and have been to wall on three occassions since it was Commemorated in November 1982. With the way this country treated the us when we returned to the USA, there is no way I would think about going for this dog & pony show.

    I joined the Navy at the end of the war and did not get sent to Vietnam.

    Sorry about your brother Lambo.
