Thank you to the many
people who worked so hard to bring the Wall That Heals to
Blythewood, especially Councilman, Eddie Baughman and Hazel
Kelly.
And a huge Thank You to the many volunteers who will
be at Doko Meadows around the clock for the 5 days it will be in
Blythewood. The calls to Town Hall in support were amazing
and often very emotional. Many of the volunteers told me they
were the lucky ones who need to be there in support of the fallen
heroes whose names are on the Wall. Bring a tissue...
Wait until you see the incredible video by Ray Smith
and his son, Andrew, as they interview Vets speaking of their
experiences, from their hearts. There will be more footage
added as the weekend events progress.
And enjoy the beautifully restored Viet Nam vehicles
displayed by Bob Redfern, who will speak at the Opening Celebration
tonight at Doko Manor. So many people to thank!
MK
