I stopped in Washington this weekend on the way home from New York - DC at night is one of my favorite subjects!

I almost always find my way to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial near the Lincoln Memorial. While my Air Force service was a decade after that war ended, I have many friends who did serve there, and know a few who never returned. More by chance than anything else, I was at the dedication ceremony for the Memorial in 1982, having taken a trip to DC with some college friends over Veterans Day weekend, and deciding to attend the dedication.
