As somber as the mood is at this Washington DC tourist attraction, you won’t feel SAD when you leave. The feeling during your bus tour stop here will be more like…emotional and appreciative of all the things that you have in your life right now. We tend to take our freedom and independence for granted…and this Washington DC memorial sets the record straight. We are free and we have helped others become free of oppression. It’s not something we should take lightly.

What’s moving is when you see relatives and people come to the wall to trace the names of their lost-relatives. You look at them and wonder if they’ve found the names yet…you feel warm and compassion and want to reach out to tell them that everything’s OK now. These veterans deserve every ounce of respect you can give them because through this Washington DC memorial, you are reminded that they have given up their lives for many others still alive today.
