In late August, I visited the Traveling Vietnam War Memorial at Forbes Field. What made the experience more special and meaningful is that I was accompanied by my wife's grandfather, a Vietnam Veteran. Being at the memorial with him and hearing the stories of some of the men on the wall really hit home, even though I don't know anyone on the wall. My uncles fought in Vietnam but were fortunate to come home and continue successful lives following the war. In this age of pride in the American Solider, the veterans and men on the memorial deserve complete respect and dignity
