Just Names Janet Kuypers 5/24/19, linked on twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr I didn’t think much of it when I was in Washington, D.C. and the journalist in me was photographing the Viet Nam memorial wall. While there I saw a woman there, to revere a name etched in stone; others put flowers there, but I, I was just there to take pictures of it. That was my job. It was only when they made a “traveling wall”, only then did I go there with him, all the way up to Kenosha, Wisconsin so that we could look for our own name, reflect upon the life lost in our own family, for it to really hit home. He served for 6 years, He met his end in South Viet Nam. He was a Green Beret. But it doesn’t say that on the wall. His wife never remarried. She stayed in the same house she picked with my cousin all these years. But it doesn’t say that on the wall either. There are so many stories that wall cannot begin to explain. Names, just names is all it shares.
