On my short list as well. Several guys who grew up in my neighborhood and were older than me are on the wall.

I get down there at least once a year, usually three times has been standard lately. If the wall or Arlington across the river don't move you, you're not human.

Went for the first time in 1988... at night. In the rain. In the reflected and ambient light, the statues seemed to be both alive... and sweating... and crying. The rain brought them alive in a really eerie way.

It was a very amazing experience. Been many time since. But none compared to that first night in April '88. I can still picture myself standing there. Every detail. From the offerings at the bottom of the wall to the statues that simply seemed to be... human.

Thanks for posting, Maggot!

It is indeed. Fortunately all of my family members made home. One commanded a Swift Boat one in the infantry.
