    Since Veterans Day is coming up soon I thought I'd post this site that was sent to me the other day, it is called the
    Virtual Wall, I apologies if this brings bad memories for some, others may like to use it to remember someone or those times in our lifes.

    Just had the traveling wall at local HD dealership. They have a huge open grassy area they own beside the dealership. Had the wall plus mobile museum. Very, very impressive. There was this one bike there, that had custom paint job of images from the war, it was something else.

    FLHT it is & my best thought is that one year after the loss of my brother My oldest son was born , war is hell but if we don't stand up & fight for what all the others in the past fought for we loose even more then a life , we loose FREEDOM & that is worth more to all the others to come along yet , I would like to know none have died in vain so our grand kids can know the same freedow we did :cool::D

    Vets ARE America! God WILL remember all Vets. All business, stores et al should be closed and tv and radio should transmit America The Beautiful alternating with Taps all day long. No internet no video games no malls no starbucks. A true day of remembrance and respect.
