If you have not seen The Wall please go if you can. When they had it here at the Infantry Museum it was a very sobering experience.

Go one step more, find out how to volunteer to help out. I did a couple years, boy did I learn a LOT. I found if you really want to hear the more interesting stories, do the late night or even over night shifts.

A bunch of the vets don't want to be out with the rest of the people just looking at it. So they come late figuring everyone else has gone. I had a couple vets I helped find names for tell their stories and they brought me to tears hearing them.

When I did the Independence day parade with the Vietnam vets, I told them when it comes in let me know, my truck and myself will be there as much as possible.
 
I escorted it into my home town with two WWII vets in the cab of my old duece it was the best expereance of my life they told stories upon stories . We can all learn alot from these fellow soldiers. then later that night my truck was joined by Gimpy's Wrecker and Junkyardwars Tipper. It was a great thing to get to honor this piece of moveing history . I hope to get the honor of escorting it again . If you have not seen this you really need to go see it . It is a very moveing expereance.

Moving Wall

Mot sure who owns it. I am escorting it in a procession with my Deuce. They have also asked me to park my Deuce at the wall for the weekend. It was here in Brighton last year and I missed it, so I am very excited to see it and be a part of it this year.
