    Folks, please take the time over your long weekend and on Memorial Day to reflect for a few minutes on those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our Country and continue doing so as I write this.

    We are here because they are not:

    As looking at the wall, I recently learned that every night, all items which are left (lots) at the wall are individually collected and documented with notes, etc. There is a warehouse, staffed, which preserves, categorizes, and stores the items.
    It did my heart good to learn of this. These men should be honored and respected as such.
    As well as their survivors.
