I can't describe in a few short words what it felt like to approach the Wall, except to say that it was incredibly moving. There was a feeling of tremendous loss and sorrow that came over me just upon nearing the area. It was that powerful.

Thousands of names.

Walking the wall.

Reflections in the wall.

Another incredible site on a very rainy, overcast day. A fitting backdrop for the Iwo Jima Memorial.
