I’ve been to that memorial once in my life, over a decade ago, it was the most moving memorial I’ve ever seen. I thank God that America has heroes that fight for my freedom, every one of that serves is a hero in my mind (I came of age after the Vietnam war and was much too hard headed for the military but have ALWAYS understood that our military keeps me free and have ALWAYS supported them). The vermin that did this do NOT deserve to live in this country.
The first time I visited it was late at night. It was very, very quiet there, even though there were a few other people around. Everyone was very respectful and hushed. It was like a spiritual experience.
I agree with you : most moving memorial I’ve ever seen.
It choked me up and I do not cry easily, nor did I know anyone on the wall.
