Vietnam War Memorial

Last Saturday Ray and I took the kids to see the traveling Vietnam War Memorial Wall. I have always wanted to see the real one, but since I don't think I will be traveling to D.C. anytime soon I wanted to go and see this version. There were alot of Veterans there that day and it really made me thankful for what these people sacrificed for our country.My moms cousin Thurle E Case Jr was killed in Vietnam on March 16, 1970. Although I never knew him I have always heard stories about him. I was born on his birthday and I have always been close to his parents, my aunt Dot and uncle Thurle. This was the main reason I wanted to see the wall, I wanted to find his name and I did.
Thanks you to all veterans, for everything you do everyday for my family and this country!!
