The Wall That Heals

leave a comment »



The Wall That Heals, a half scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, came to Sebring last week and through the weekend. I tried to take some time to go up there and make some pictures each day. It was a pretty sobering experience watching as people walked past the wall with the print-outs with the locations of their friends and relatives’ names, kneeled down and ran their fingers through the names scanning for the name.

“I’ve got too many names,” sighed one veteran as he flipped through the stack of papers giving the locations of his friends.
