Yea, I liked the simplicity of it too. I kind of wanted to get some kind of sticker, or even a ball cap(don't really wear a cap much tho'). What I wanted was just the basic VN service ribbon set like this: ![]()
Except that I wanted it subdued(olive drab & black). Just low key.
A lady that was working the Wall exhibit shook my hand and thanked me(sincerely); I got a lump in my throat.

It was here in PA when my dd was in college. My husband took rubbings of some of his friends killed in action!
Seeing this was very moving!

None of my friends ended up on that wall. A kid that was a couple years older than me and used to bully me back when I was about 11 or 12 later joined the Marines and got whacked over there. I'm fine with that. SOB had it coming. I spent almost a whole year terrified to go out of my house because of him.
