After desperately searching the "Traveling Wall" and the accompanying records - looking for someone that I had loved decades before, I can only imagine the impact of standing before the "real" Wall.

What a perfect selection for this Memorial Day POTD, and how beautifully you created the image, Cheryl.

Bless those that served us throughout the centuries, and during our lifetime. #9435513

Thank you all for your comments. This is actually an image that I entered during another month, but it was a pleasure to see that it had been chosen to represent Memorial Day. Seeing "The Wall" was a powerful experience for me. It was nice to hear that some of that came through in this image. #9436853
