Saw a pic of an old shipmate of mine from the Mellon's deployment to Nam on there.  When I knew him he was HMC Terry Graviss.  Looks like he made it to LCDR before he retired.  Congrats Terry!

And thanks to all of you hat participated and contributed the pics.

I've never seen the actual Memorial.  This past September, when I visited the VA Hospital at St. Cloud, MN for my annual physical and blood testing, they had the Traveling Wall set up ouside of the Hospital and I went over and looked up some old friends that gave all.  It would be difficult not to shed some tears.
