But, the Wall
is black and buried, a depression in the ground symbolizing the
depression of the nation that did not win the war or respect the men
who fought it.

I think you're wrong on this one, Ed. To me the Wall is the most
beautiful and most moving monument anywhere in the world, the only one
I return to, and the only one that ever made me cry.

In 1989 I went skiing in Switzerland with my daughter, and on the
return trip we got put in separate seats. I was in biz class beside a
Swiss on his way to Washington. I suggested that he visit the Wall,
and set out to explain the concept to him. And by golly I burst into
tears right there. Happily the drinks were free in Swissair biz class.
