This spring I paid a visit to The Wall That Heals, a
traveling three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in
Washington, D.C.
Being a Vietnam era Conscientious Objector I have always felt
drawn to see the Memorial in person. Even though I don’t personally know any of those whose
names are engraved on the wall, I have always felt a deep need to acknowledge those 58,000 fallen
or missing men and women who served in Vietnam.
Silence, awe, reverence, pain, gratitude, loss, emptiness, speechlessness…
I don’t know how to explain it, I not only experienced all of those feelings, but I also felt a sense of healing connection to those who served
in the war that I fought to end.
Although I am against war I respect and support our men and women in uniform.
