    Default Memorial Weekend, Moving Wall, Ft Collins

    Anyone else going ? If you have not had the Honor / Opportunity to view the one in DC. This is a must visit, if possible. A very humbling experience, to say the least.

    Everyone should go see it, if they havent seen it before.

    Don't forget to bring a monetary donation.

    Was in the escort riders group. Definitely a must see. Should you ever have a chance to get to D.C. on Memorial Day, the wall is a must visit and will change you forever.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll be taking my family. I visited the one in DC on my very first day of active duty back in 1986. It was moving then, and it will be moving now.
