Veteran's Day Post (a little late)

Sonny at Fremont Street on Veteran's Day
Our family went downtown last Veteran's Day, visiting Fremont Street where we saw The Rascals perform. The most meaningful experience was going to see the half-size replica of the Vietnam Memorial, called The Moving Wall. I wear a POW bracelet that I've had since the 70s, and the person whose name is on the bracelet, M/Sgt. Cecil J. Hodgson, has been missing in action since 1-29-1966. Through some research, I have come to know that he, along with the others who were never found, has been classified as KIA--Killed in Action- since an arbitrary point in time in the early 90s, if I remember correctly. My family helped me find his name on the Wall, and (no pun intended) it was quite a moving experience.
