If anyone is interested the Vietnam Wall Experience will be in Springfield July 4,5,6 at the Bisch Funeral Home West. If you have not seen it or the real thing I recommend that you go, it is quite an experience. I will be down there all weekend helping out with it and would like to see some of you there.

Here is a link to more info. It is still under construction but should be finished shortly.

Here a just a couple more links if you are interested in learning more

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."
