I never knew until last weekend that a moving wall could be so … moving. That's when I had the pleasure of visiting the American Veterans Traveling Tribute, a replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall, when it stopped for a few days in Eden, NY. As is tradition, the wall was escorted into town by more than 1,000 veterans on motorcycles, this time including my dad who served in the Army from 1968-1970.
