June 13, 1990 THE WALL I went to see The Wall today And though I know it sounds cliche, I DID get on my knees to pray And thank those who died for us all. I had a hard time comprehending The names...seemingly without ending, And all the people who were sending A message to someone on The Wall. Although I came with a single purpose, (To find the name of my Uncle Les) I couldn't leave until I'd seen the rest- I just stared with sadness and awe. So I ask everyone not to forget The name and memory of every Vet who in Vietnam their death met, And are memorialized on The Wall. - Kathy Loomis - kloomis@adt.com
