John;
Do whatever is right for you.
I`ve only been to the moving wall,myself.When I went I told myself that I needed to do it for me,but suddenly realized that "I" was the most insignificant being there.It`s all about them-those who`s names are etched forever in that damn black granite.
They`ll be pleased to make Johnny`s aquaintance and proud of you for being a great Opa.

Default Bro John

Kinda feel like a step-child to the 3/5th Cav, as they were part of the 9th Inf Div when I was assigned to them. And our unit, the 2-47th Inf (Mech), had several joint operations with them.

Now to the current time: as your bro, I'd say go the Wall, and wrap your arms around your own feelings since they're your own, and experience that moment. If someone is with you that really loves you, they'll be wrapping their arms around you, giving you support, love and encouragement. Then you can say those long-suppressed Hellos to your fallen mates, and receive the glow that they have responded from their Fiddler's Green.

Me and the rest of your of your bro's got your ruck, so mount up, and know that Scouts are indeed out, checking your point!

Scouts Out!!

LT you will be in the hands of he that knows your heart better than anyone and will carry you through. I went to the Wall in 89, but just couldn't keep it together. I am glad your brothers in arms will be there to share the experience. Prayers out.
