A visit to The Moving Wall…

As noted in this previous post, The Moving Wall made a stop here in Central NH this Memorial Day weekend. Following up our MTNP radio interview (podcast here) with one of the event’s organizers, David Dube, we got to meet him face to face when we paid a visit Sunday evening. During our brief chat, he noted that over 20,000 people will have visited by the time it’s all said and done today at 6PM. More importantly, he told us that a large number of vets had made connections with those listed on the memorial which, he said in some cases can bring a degree of healing to decades-long scars. We personally witnessed the outpouring of emotion displayed by one of the visitors while we were there.

Here are a few more pics:
