Traveling memorial versus the real thing?
Thank you Alaska, redwitch and others for the insightful and balanced posts.
Personally, I don't see why people here would get so worked up over a very scaled-down replica being taken around the country, and why people are getting so worked up about it not being brought here.....especially since the real thing in Washington is surrounded in walking distance by the OTHER such moving monuments!
Why not organize an excursion of TV'rs to go to the real monument in Washington DC, and enjoy each others' company and show solidarity for our veterans THERE?
The Vietnam Memorial location there IS set up for hundreds of thousands of people to gather all at once--it is done all the time, i.e. rallies for presidential inauguration, million man march, Beck's 8/28 rally, the liberal response to that one, etc.
I see excursions from TV all the time, such as those in the lifelong learning college that go to the Holy Land, geneaology trip to UT, etc. Why not organize an excursion to Washington DC and gather as TV'rs at the Memorial--the real thing--THERE?
