It's been 15 months since I hopped on the metro and walked around Washington D.C. Today was the day I took that big step forward away from cov-id mind set. The state of Maryland, Virginia and D.C. have pretty much dropped all cov-id restrictions.
Memorial Day is a time to pause and reflect and honor those who died serving our country.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial stands as a symbol of America’s honor and recognition of the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War. Inscribed on the black granite walls are the names of more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing. The Memorial is dedicated to honor the courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty and country of all who answered the call to serve during one of the most divisive wars in U.S. history.
I love your choice of making this monochrome and your heart touching composition.
I was in DC with a group of men after the wall was completed. We talked about going to see it but felt we didn't have enough time to experience the Wall and catch the Metro out of the city. I have had the opportunity to see the Moving Wall. I hope for another chance to see the real thing one day. And who knows, maybe my name will be inscribed on it one day as I know names are continually being added. Thanks for posting this emotional photo! FAV!
