“The Moving Wall,” the half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Washington,D.C., recently made its way to the Minnesota StateVeterans’ Cemetery near Camp Ripley.“The Wall” travels throughout America formost of the year as a way to honor the 58,000 men
and women who made the ultimate sacrice during
the Vietnam War. Not just those who gave theirlives, but those who remain missing as well.I remember reports of those who had died or weremissing as I watched the sights and sounds of the waron the evening news out of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.One of the missing was a young man from nearbyGreensburg that I would get to know later.I have also had the honor of knowing andserving with plenty of Vietnam vets. But it’s thosereported as missing in action (MIA) that I have hada decades long connection to.In late 975 I was stationed with the US Army
“The Wall” 
is amoving experience
