         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

Friday, May 31, 2013:  

A traveling/moving version of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall came to Brainerd for a few days.

The original is in Washington D.C.
 
Many showed up to see the wall and the names.

Mark served with the U.S. Army in Vietnam for one year back in the late 1960's.

He remembered this name on the wall.    

The Vietnam War was a long time ago, but it will stick the the minds of many to the end of their lives.

Some 58,195 Americans lost their lives in the Vietnam conflict.
Quote of the day:  I hope our country learned something from this experience.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
