Deepest thanks for posting a very moving video documentation of this event. Thank you especially, for what you included, and what you left out. Your video poignantly speaks to what a Memorial really is. You did not show the statue, which after all, is no more than metal and stone; you did not show the dignitaries, for this day was not about them; you show a community, remembering their flesh and blood, and still grieving, as one can vividly see in their faces. MAJ. DAVID J. RICKEL, 25. FT. LAUDERDALE, FL. USAF. 16 MAY '68 MISSING IN ACTION My cousin. I remember. We still grieve.
