As we were walking along the wall, my husband said he had a feeling he needed stop at a panel. Much to our surprise we found to two soldiers with our last name - Susi. We did check the book listing all the soldier by name and found that these are the only two soldier on the entire wall at the time with the last name of Susi. Both men were from New York. We are very grateful for their service and sacrifice and also for the service of my father in the Navy in the European Theater during World War II.

I was, depending on your view I guess, fortunate enough not to be called to serve (yes, I am *that* old!), but yet my visit to the Wall brought emotions to the surface I could have never predicted. It was a quieting, moving experience that I will never forget, and gave me a new perspective on those who choose to defend and protect us. I am thankful for those who have done so in order that I may continue to live freely. A visit to the Wall is a profound experience.
