    The Wall came to our town a couple of years ago and it is quite the sight. I have been to the one in DC. I still choke up looking at the names of the friends and comrades of my youth.

    But, you guys did the boys proud!! CARRY ON!

    How cool!

    Like IrishRob The Wall makes me cry every time - as does the mobile wall. Leatherneck tartan kilt for sure next visit to either.

    Cool pics. In fact, I think I just convinced my daughter that Santa really DOES wear a kilt ;)

    Being the son and grandson of vets, I can truly appreciate how much being there meant to you guys....

    You look good. It's been years since the last time I saw the wall. Like irishrob and Ron, I get emotional when I see it.
