Memorialized

"It should not of happened.."

My mother repeated this statement when I was younger. I visited the wall at the age of three, but I never remembered it. I just remembered my mother crying. Flash forward to present day, I visited this wall again. This time I was 19 years of age, and it was powerful. We were lied to again about another war, another situation. This time it was in a desert not an ocean.

“The only monuments to this war (Vietnam) will be the dead, the maimed, the despairing and the forlorn”

It did happen, and one picture can tell it all.
