When wulf comes to town...

Janice I first went to the Vietnam Memorial on Veterans day, 1985, it was the largest silent crowd I have ever been in. The monument had only been open about 3 years at that point and it was all so raw, the emotion was palatable. It just felt like an over whleming crush of sadness but me and my friends (this was before we got stoned on the capitol steps) could not tear ourselves away. I think now it was because we were witnessing healing.

It is not quite the same when I go there now, of course I didn;t go on a holliday, but the tourists are still respectful. Its a strange feeling being confronted by all those names, knowing each represents a life ended, and as you read then you see your reflection in the stone and of course that reminds me I am older than any of those names got to be.

   My brother was the communications officer, for Ben Hoa airbase.  Many of the names listed there, he knew of and knew personally.  And he had some part in the notification of the deaths, and injuries to
loved ones, and families....It was such and experience he couldnt even discuss it...
   To many people that go to that monument...It is a work of art.  To others, it is a place where a loved one is recognized...However to he, and others that were there... in Viet Nam,   It is faces, and real men they knew, and cared about....I guess in a certain way,,,that is what is great about it...It is something different to everyone that visits it.

I received word tonite from my Cherokee friend in Hawai'i that their daughter, born last week, had to be airlifted to Oahu for a variety of strange problems. Her name is Maya Olivia. If you would keep her in your thoughts I would appreciate it very much.
