THIS PHOTO TAKEN YESTERDAY AT THE VIETNAM MOVING WALL CEREMONY SHOWS THE UNIT COLORS BROUGHT IN BY 18 LEGION, VFW AND AMVETS
POSTS. JOHN PITLO OF BELLEVUE AMERICAN LEGION POST 273 WAS
CHAIRMAN OF THIS PART OF THE PROGRAM.
THIS MORNING AROUND 8, WHEN I DROVE OUT BY THE FAIRGROUNDS, THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS OUT THERE AND PEOPLE ALSO VIEWING THE WALL.
AND I NOTICED A LIGHTING SYSTEM WHICH IS USED AT NIGHT TO LIGHT
THE WALL. YES, PEOPLE CAN COME ANYTIME, 24 HOURS A DAY, TO VIEW
THE WALL. SOMEONE IS THERE AT ALL TIMES ON GUARD DUTY AND TO
GREET VISITORS.
