You know - I've never seen that.

I haven't been to The Wall yet either - don't think I will either.

I know The Wall has deep meaning for those who served in SEA in that
era. But, when you do a 180 and walk across to the Korean War Memorial
it is chilling, very chilling. Pictures and descriptions just don't do
justice to the Korean War Memorial.

There is a book about the Korean war written by Martin Russ called The
Last Parallel. The last paragraph puts the who book into perspective.

Correction: It is Breakout: The Chosin Reservoir Campaign, Korea 1950.
Written by Martin Russ.

Good thing I looked ahead. :)

Yeah - I've read it - required reading in my opinion.
