At the time there was a traveling Wall. I have no connection to the godforsaken war. Nevertheless, it was powerful to be in its presence. I learned there was a sign—up book for volunteers to read a list of the names aloud. I did have a chance to do so. It was pretty neat. I don't recall there being anyone to hear me, it was a night shift; but it was an honor to be there.
