Remember this?
It stands for
which, if you recall, has a price.
Each one of these names
all along this wall

I covered a loop several miles long and wore a blister on my heel.
But I couldn't walk down the Vietnam Veterans Wall. I didn't lose anyone personally in that war but seeing the names and the size of the wall hit me hard.
