It was quite a weekend. One that I will never forget. We didn't sleep very much. It meant a lot to me to go to the Wall with my dad buddies. It seems that everyones first visit to the Wall is very emotional. After that the Wall seems peaceful. I have to agree with Dan, there wasn't a dry eye in the banquet hall when the video was playing. For those of you that missed it the video was made from pictures of our dads, our families and our vets. It was put to music from the Vietnam era and some newer music. The ceremony on Fathers Day was emotional too. Roses were provided for anyone that wanted to leave a rose at the Wall. Panel 37E sure had a lot of roses. Thanks everyone. I believe that my dad was with us in spirit all weekend, especially Friday night. Thank you all for coming. Sorry we missed you Al. The next Fathers Day gathering will be in 2005.
