Wife & I saw VN Memorial at Rest Area in Alabama

[Boats]

Took a business trip last week and got the wife to go with me and we went from Chicago to Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville and down into Alabama.

We stopped at the all the entry Welcome area's to pick up some maps and make a pit stop. When we got to Alabama we pulled in and saw a huge Saturn Rocket (it's been there a long time) my first time to see one this close.

We also discovered a small VN Memorial of all the Vet's that died their from Alabama. It had a nice etching on it and all the name's just like the small wall that moves around.

We stood there and read some of the names and reflected on all those whose names were listed and moved on. It was quite nice and I've seen another like that by our home near Lansing, IL where they have a helicopter mounted and each year we go there for Veterans Day and every now and then my wife will go with me when I just drive over there and sit and reflect.

I don't know I just can't get this crap out of my head. At least three times a year I have to the memorial and at least once a day I think about those times - why is that? It won't go away and I'm not loosing any sleep so why is it that I'm drawn to these memorials?
