Vietnam Traveling Wall After Action Meeting


All the Volunteers that put the heart and hard work into the Vietnam Traveling Wall while it was here in Portland, Oregon attended the After Action meeting last night. More a reason for us all to get back together and share our photos and hug once again!
This entire brew of folks has become such a tight knit group that we are like family!
In two weeks we are getting back together to do scrapbooking on our photos and items from the experience with the Wall.
In mid July we are getting together for a big BBQ and on Veterans Day we will get together for the burial ceremony of the coffin that contains all the items left along the Traveling Wall while it was here.
Then we all agreed to have an Anniversary ceremony on next Memorial Day!
This wall has touched us all! We are so close that the Truck Driver who travels the nation bringing the Wall to various communities is now a friend of ours and last night we got him on speaker phone and applauded him and clapped and had a great time!
Our only concern is that the Wall is up in Wichita Falls, TX and they are having 75mph winds and we could hear it on the phone...they are expecting bad weather and all we can do a pray the Wall stays up!
