The Moving Wall

A visit to the Moving Wall at Allerton. The board of the Historic Round Barn Site sponsored and hosted...
We could not miss the opportunity to honor the Men and Women of the United States who served in the Vietnam War.

The Wall is 1/2 size replica of the Washington D.C. Vietnam Memorial that is touring the country. So many names... 58,175 are listed from 1959 to 1975.
We discussed people and remembered classmates, who we have known, whose names are there.

" IN HONOR OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES WHO SERVED IN THE VIETNAM WAR. THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES AND OF THOSE WHO REMAIN MISSING ARE INSCRIBED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE TAKEN FROM US."

Many thanks to the people, who duplicated this wall and gave us an opportunity to see...
Thanks to the people of Allerton for bringing and hosting the Moving Wall for us.
