Our small town recently hosted its annual high school homecoming festival. As part of the celebration this year we were able to host the Vietnam Traveling Memorial. Among other duties I was given the honor of guarding the wall through the middle of the night. I think it is easier for me to stay up at night than some of the others. In the quiet of the night I was able to snap some pictures. Here is a display of American flags that lined the sides of the road in the cemetery where the wall was on display.
