" To Issy:
My mom told me a story about you when you were young going out
with your friends. You came in and put your oldest clothes and
shoes on. Your mom asked why you couldn't dress decent and
wear the nice clothes she bought for you. You said your friends
didn't have nice clothes and you wanted to look like them.

The Wall itself is a powerful sight to behold. I only recently saw the actual monument in DC, but I had seen The Moving Wall a few years earlier. All those names...it was a sobering experience.
The first time I visited the wall was in 1993. I saw a letter someone had placed below a name. It told about how a man came to America, worked very hard, had a family, successful children who went into public service (doctors, I believe). And at the end, it explained why the man and his family had worked so hard...so that the American man who saved his life by laying down his own wouldn't have done it in vain. To ensure that he and his family earned the price of that man's sacrifice every single day of their lives--and never forgot.
Moving doesn't begin to describe it.
