Tuesday evenings at the Iwo Jima memorial will again see the Comadant's

You know - I've never seen that.

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

Tom, it's a personal thing, but you should consider it.
I didn't for years. Then I decided to go with a long time friend who had
some serious mental scars along with some other vets during Rolling Thunder
2002.

We rode our bikes down, participated in the events and spent the weekend.
The Wall was memorable, emotional, respectful and had a sense of closure
about it. Won't do it again, but glad I did once.

It also did my friend a world of good.

I might - I can't say never will. The kids are always after me to go
when I'm down there - I just can't do it now.

I'll admit it's fear which is odd because it was so long ago.

I dunno - maybe.
