The Wall, Yorktown Revisted and our Tributes to Fallen Heroes

From the turn out of prominent Person who came to the Traveling Wall in Yorktown the 10th to the 15th, you would think the exhibit could get a little more press.  All in all the time, effort, and expense was well applied to good end and healing of many old wounds and assist in family closure for those left behind to carry on.  Uncle Sam called and they answered with a; Hear am I, send me.

The event saw many folks at all hours of the day and night, and was well serviced by the veterans community out of many of of the area Veteran Service Organizations; American Legion, 40/8, AMVETS, FVW, Rolling Thunder, Marine Corps League, and more.  Sponsors gave to help, and volunteers committed to take off work even  to see all areas were covered.  Area residents were wonderful and supportive . . . . Thank you Yorktown Residents and Surrounding Communities.  Lady Liberty still stands with her hand raised high and the light still shines as a beacon to the worlds hurting.  The Silent Majority was a little less silent at this event.

It was gratifying to see the generational continuity there; grandsons, sons and grandfathers together with families young and old to share a common interest in viewing and understanding the very variable cost of Freedom; coming to realization, that freedom really isn't free, and the price paid is many times less visible then we should allow ourselves to consider ignoring.  The Tender youth of our Nation, serving and sometimes dying to protect our freedoms, economic interests, and guarding the gates of democracy like very few nations elsewhere, anywhere.  We own them a unspeakable debt that can not have a price tag attached to their sacrifices.

All in all, we had a great time with all the Prominent People, and Yes we Still Remember the Sacrifices of our Troops and Their Families everywhere, and especially the POW-MIA's who have yet to be accounted for.

This coming Veterans Day; seek out a Veteran or a Service Person you may know or a Family Member and Thank Them for their honoring the Call to Service.  Honor to whom Honor is due and Thanks for doing it Honorably is our Part of the Public response to thier Sacrifice and Service, that and keeping our promises made to them for what they may have suffered.
