here is an update on the t-shirts , the back image is still being worked on but have had people interested and at least wanted to give an idea of where i am at.

I'll hope to stop by with my dad. How do i get a few of these shirts?

I may have to wait until this comes closer to home. Also, I think I found out my vacation plans for next year (if we go on one).Going to go to D.C. to look at all the monuments and memorials.

I've seen the moving wall twice, the last time was when it was at the old Ft Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis.

I made two rubbings on that day, one was Jerry Sabens from Salem, IN (killed November 66) and the other was Lance Sijan (USAF, Medal of Honor recipiant, MIA November 67, died January 68). There was less than 1 year between the dates associated with these men's placement on the wall, there are nearly 11,000 names between Jerry Sabens and Lance Sijan.

Go see this memorial.

everything is coming along amazingly hope to see lots of INGO there

I'll definitely be around there, since I am scheduling VFW personnel for some of the security shifts. I'm sure there will be some long nights.

 

[RyanGSams]

I am hoping to be off on the opening day. So I might just come out that afternoon. What time will the ceremony be on the first day? Thank you.

 

[williamnewman1]

opening ceremony should be at 6pm rain or shine

 

[williamnewman1]
