The Memorial Wall was designed by Maya Lin it is 75 m long.
The stone for the wall came from Bangalore, India. It was deliberately chosen because of its reflective quality. The stone cutting and fabrication was done in Barre, Vermont.
When a visitor looks upon the wall, his or her reflection can be seen simultaneously with the engraved names, which is meant to symbolically bring the past and present together.
Inscribed on the walls are the names of servicemen who were either confirmed to be KIA (Killed in Action) or remained classified as MIA (Missing in Action) when the walls were constructed in 1982.
This is right next to my step-dad's grandmother's house. There's a bunch of his family in here, including his mom and dad. I think going to his grandma's house is bittersweet for him.

The Run to Remember was started in 2008 at the request of the Chaplain for 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne). The race is dedicated to those brave men and women who have given their lives for our country in the post- 9-11 era. Community members were encouraged to submit names of friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have died in the line of duty since 9/11 for recognition during the opening ceremonies and printed on the race shirt.

Photo taken in Fresno, California, on January 17, 2011. A march was held in downtown Fresno, to honor Dr. King. I decided to publish the images in black and white, to make them match the times of Dr. King. i think they look more dramatic this way, and hopefully help get the message of the dream out. My wife , Letty, joined in the march, while I took photos, and video.
Amazing how clearly you can remember certain events in your past.
I couldn't sleep one night last week. So I decided to exercise my brain. I hadn't ever really tried something like this, and I felt odd (though curious) to try.
I lay back and closed my eyes and tried to picture myself back in Mussoorie, on the top of the hill in Landour. And I walked, in my mind, down the hill, following that magnificent curvy road down to the town. I tried careful to remember everything I could - the views about this or that corner, the shops, the smells, if I could remember children playing here or there. All through Mussoorie I traveled. Past clocktower. Through the touristy mall road. Past the post office. Past Kalsang's where I would patron their fantastic Tibetan cuisine. Stopping to view the valley to the south. Past the hotels and the man-powered Ferris Wheel. All the way to the Tibetan Buddhist temple.
Amazing what we can remember.
This is from the first cab ride up the mountain towards Landour where I lived and worked. I got to ride in the back with the luggage but I had the opportunities for the best pictures!
i posted some pics of this car a while back from when i spotted it a year ago in my neighborhood. now it sits behind a chain link fence at a car repair shop in Aberdeen Maryland. luckily this time it was outside the fence! update: the car is now back on the road! =D

Blog post about my visit to the Oklahoma City National Memorial
My wife, myself, and two other couples visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial last night. We had been told that it had the most impact at night so after dark we took the walk from OKC's Bricktown to the memorial. We chatted loudly as we walked the streets but naturally became somber and hushed in tone as we arrived at the city block where the bombing occurred.
Our entrance was through a 4-story tall bronze "gate" which led to a 1" deep reflecting pool which replaced the street along which the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building once stood. There was a bronze gate at the other end of the pool as well.
Shortly after our arrival we were approached by Tucker, one of the National Park Service employees. He was quite friendly and asked if we had any questions so one of our company asked him to explain the various pieces of symbolism contained in the memorial. Tucker did a fantastic job explaining the memorial with great enthusiasm -- I will be writing the park service to commend him. As I recall there were 8 major elements in the memorial. The bronze "Gates of Time" represented the minute before the life-changing event. This gate was marked "9:01" -- one minute of innocence before the blast. The other gate was labeled "9:03" to mark the first minute into the healing process after the blast. The reflecting pool is there to allow one to look into it and see a life forever changed by what happened.
The "Field of Empty Chairs" was the most significant part of the memorial to me. The field itself is the footprint of the former building. Each chair has the name of a victim and was placed in such a way as to indicate the floor of the building where the person was killed. I attempted some pictures -- all I had was a basic point-and-shoot camera -- but none are good enough to post .
Other symbols included the Survivor Wall, Survivor Tree, Rescuers' Orchard, Children's Area, and the Fence. Tucker explained each one and even gave us insight into why the memorial's designers chose to represent things as they did. However, I'll leave it to you to read about these on the internet if you are interested.
Despite the poor quality of the pictures I decided to post a couple anyway and I encourage each of you to take a bit of time to remember the victims of this horrible tragedy. We marked our remembrance by doing something Tucker suggested. We dipped our hands in the reflecting pool and placed them on the bronze gates for a few seconds. This leaves a lasting hand print on the bronze -- a lasting mark of our visit.
