Love the WWII and Korean Memorials as well.

It's been a few years since I've been there so i haven't seen the WWII & Korean yet. Couldn't agree with you more about Iwo & Vietnam Memorials. The first time I went to see the Wall, I discovered that I wasn't going to be able to find the guys I knew who were KIA. I didn't know their real, full name. The Slovic guys had names none of us could pronounce, so we just called them "alphabet" or "ski", Indians were all "chief", and so on. There was never any disrespect & they knew it too. I could see faces, but couldn't find them. Hope they know they are remembered.
