    We will go back, we will always go back... please read on...

    My father, Gerald Henry Gaylor, died in VietNam by a terrorist bomb, January 22, 1966. His name is at 04E-82. A few years ago while my mother and I were visiting, a woman and her young children saw me rubbing my father's name and asked who he was. We told them about his story ...

  • Then to Now
    By Timothy, 08/15/09
    My Grandfather served in Vietnam. There are names of many of his friends on that wall, who died in service to our country. As I looked for the names he mentioned, the names of my own battle buddies (as I am an OIF veteran) who fell in combat came to me. I think I felt enough for my grandfather and I both that day. Many will not understand, ...

    At first I thought it was a Museum but is not is just a section of the park dedicated to Vietnam. The have statues of a couple of Soldiers in battle gear it looks like they walking in the woods. It was a cool experience though. i would recomemded since it is free.

    I just recently went with my 13 year old on a trip to DC. We went to the Wall and we were very touched by this site. We will never forget.

  • Vietnam Memorial
    By Dolphin, 04/25/08
    This memorial made the hair on my arms stand up. I did not know anyone that died during the War. But I found several men that share my last name. As I walked along the wall looking at those names, in the background there was school kids from some high school there reading off the names for Vet's Day. There were lots of wreaths and notes along ...

  • It's been 20 years...
    By gb..., 03/26/08
    The first place we went to after landing at Dulles was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I was instantly overwhelmed and filled with incredibly strong emotions that I never knew I possessed, especially as a naive 13 year old girl. I'll never forget that experience and the intense message and strong feeling of life radiating in that area.
    Here I ...

    I love the way the history is all around you. I enjoyed seeing it. Although it is sad thinking about it, you know it represents pride. The feeling of being at the memorial is undescribable. It's amazing!
