A half size replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., the memorial was an opportunity for those who have not experienced the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. to see the names of the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country and freedom.Sparta Chamber of Commercehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02628712111495945327noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812656878667889283.post-24337638317741336822008-09-16T22:27:00.004-04:002008-09-16T22:35:47.508-04:00<em>Photo by Stacy Niedzwiecki - Rockford, Michigan</em><br /><em><br /></em><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3SVjVIZ_YgU/SNBr-NSFkEI/AAAAAAAAAPg/O5yDky38uZQ/s1600-h/IMG_0826_MovingWall.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246812282348212290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3SVjVIZ_YgU/SNBr-NSFkEI/AAAAAAAAAPg/O5yDky38uZQ/s400/IMG_0826_MovingWall.jpg" border="0" /></a>I would like to offer a sincere thank you to all who were involved in bringing such a touching and important tribute to West Michigan. Although I did not know anyone who served in Vietnam, it was a very moving experience seeing the replica in person, and talking with others. I came away from this evening with much appreciation.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1812656878667889283-2433763831774133682?l=movingwallsparta.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sparta Chamber of Commercehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02628712111495945327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812656878667889283.post-49066441884692004392008-08-28T10:59:00.001-04:002008-09-16T22:38:16.132-04:00Thank you for your interest in the Moving Wall during its 2008 Sparta visit, and welcome to our web page designed to show your our memories of the occasion and hopefully to provide you a place to share yours.<br /><br />Many were not able to sign the guest book while the Wall was in town so we are providing a place to do that right here. Please feel free to share your thoughts, memories and stories of the exhibit and keep in mind that this forum is moderated and will be monitored for appropriate content out of respect to the veterans and other readers.<br /><br />This event had such a moving effect on those who helped, observed and came to pay their respects, that we wanted to have a place to share, so please feel free.<br /><br />Thank you again for your participation.<br /><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Skip &amp; Mary-Ann Meyer</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1812656878667889283-4906644188469200439?l=movingwallsparta.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sparta Chamber of Commercehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02628712111495945327noreply@blogger.com1
