We worked hard this morning. After we had received the bad news that the driving force behind the Wall David Dube was in an accident on his way to meet the Wall in Tamworth. He required 20 stitches in his head and back. After things got sorted out we ramped up into full speed when it arrived in Constitution Park. A group of High School students from Kingswood came to help with the assembly. They were such a joy to watch, eager to work, and willing to learn. The wall went together without incident, and we were pretty much open for business by noon. While the attendance at any one time was not very high, it was a steady stream all afternoon into the evening. I stayed until about 8:45 and to see it lit up was inspiring.
I so hope many people take advantage of this visit to the area, and visit this tribute to our Vietnam Veterans, and grasp how many of our finest young men didn't come home from that remote area of the world to see their loved ones
