Walt, That's a wonderful photo. I'm sure anybody who suffered a loss in Vietman would be proud to have such a photo. The Wall at night with the Washington Monument in back establishes the place for us who have been there. The second exposure of the names seals the deal. Wow! Powerful emotions swirling around my head... Regards, Bob S.
