something to be thankful for
 

The Vietnam memorial is so powerful, even more so on Thanksgiving morning. Looking down the wall at over 56,000 names in semi chronological order, makes one realise the senselessness of war. The names that struck me the most were the last ones on the list. They died at the end of the war, after we started withdrawing. All for naught, they lost their lives. (It can be said that all the other men on the wall suffered the same demise for no discernable benefit to mankind)

I found a couple "Schwarz's" on the wall but not one of them was my dad.

Thanksgiving
 

The serenity and beauty of this Park Ranger gazing at the auburn foliage struck me in odd contrast to the horror detailed on the wall. The reflection in the wall seems to point out 2 sides of life. Beauty and ugliness, construction and destruction, life and death.
