Vietnam War Memorial

The Vietnam War Memorial replica (The Moving Wall) stopped in Benbrook, Texas this month.










"IN HONOR OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES WHO SERVED IN THE VIETNAM WAR. THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES AND OF THOSE WHO REMAIN MISSING ARE INSCRIBED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE TAKEN FROM US."

Preamble of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial 

Despite being smaller in stature than the original Wall displayed in Washington D.C. (picture below) The Moving Wall is nevertheless, both impressive and heart wrenching.
