I know that many men my father served with are on that wall and it never fails to bring me to silence, in both thought and word. <br /><br />The nurse's memorial I saw for the first time in 2009, on Veteran's Day. It was beautiful, touching and haunting -- all at once. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Aleeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214993975161259258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203901298513650017.post-68851924369758651082011-06-13T14:16:30.939-04:002011-06-13T14:16:30.939-04:00This is so poignant and yet inspiring...your simpl...This is so poignant and yet inspiring...your simple styling brings out the tragic loss of young lives.Rek Seshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484322426994645221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203901298513650017.post-47005574805921934942011-06-12T04:03:36.193-04:002011-06-12T04:03:36.193-04:00The simplicity and power of a name on a wall, so v...The simplicity and power of a name on a wall, so very sad.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231195313149947101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203901298513650017.post-90804565091676167112011-06-11T23:15:05.718-04:002011-06-11T23:15:05.718-04:00I loved your use of this week's prompt C.J.

I have seen the "mini wall" that travels around the country, and it is a sobering sight. Thanks for sharing this.
