Blessings to all the Vietnam Vets, and THANK YOU for your service.
I did not know this Vietnam Memorial existed. It is a memorial to the 58,000 lives lost...58,000 dog tags with name, branch of service and date killed. It's a shame that this is not shown on msm.
Worth the look. It brings a somber mindset just to visualize this. Really brings home the reality of the lives lost.
