> It's funny, Dave, but that wall even had a strange effect on me. I say it's funny, because I have never had a family member, or even a friend killed in any war, and I go back to before WWII. I spent my Army days between wars in Oklahoma. There is something really mysterious about that wall, if it even effects people like me.

And even funnier, I think, the effect it had on me- I'm way too young to remember any serious conflict, as the Gulf War and Bosnia were so foreign to a girl still in grade school. And I never knew anyone involved in any war, except for my uncle, who never said anything about WWII and wasn't at all hurt. The sheer number of names on that wall is enough to deeply affect even those most removed from any of the circumstances around it or even remotely similar to it.
