Finally

The World War 2 memorial was finally dedicated to the more then 16 million who served, the over 400,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice and to the citizens who joined together as one United Nation 60 years after the wars end. Sadly 100's of thousands of those who served had past before they were able to see the memorial and be remembered for their efforts. The memorial sits between the Washington & Lincoln memorials on the mall. There is the rainbow pool, the field of gold stars, and 54 pillars that represent the 50 states and her territories. It tells the stories of those who served in the Pacific and Atlantic theaters, the battles they fought, won and lost. It's where on D-Day 2005 I learned that you can walk up to a stranger, extend a hand and say only two words, that you can experience the most humblest of feelings. Those words: Thank You. Try it sometime you'll see and feel what I mean. Peace and God Bless all men and women who served and who continue to serve our nation today. This page is dedicated to my Uncle's - Jerry(Marines), Ernie(Army, Joe(Air Force) and Norm(Army) Purple Heart recipient.
