Me too, and on February 28, 1969, I thought I wasn't going to.
My wife and I went to see The Wall in Washington once. That has got to be the most moving experience I have ever had. It is such a eerie and weird place and most everyone I know of has had the same feelings when they go. While we were there, a gentleman asked me if I would take a picture of him as he pointed to a name on the wall. I told him that I would. He said he was pointing to his son's name. Every time I tell this story, I get tears in my eyes.
