Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall

After the aquarium today, we headed to The Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall.  Devin's uncle was a Marine and died in the Vietnam War.  We went to find his name on the wall that came through Boise.



There he is, Edwin E Wilson.

Devin tried to do a rubbing with a crayon but it wasn't working.  The wall was too hot and it was melting the crayon. 

My friend, Shawnle, was at Ryleigh's soccer game this afternoon and mentioned that she was invited to speak at the program they were having tonight at the memorial.  We were planning on going there today so we timed it so we could listen to her speak on behalf of women in the military.  She served in the Coast Guard.  The girls kept waving to her from their seats.  They love her!
