You should have stayed and gone thru the museum, it's important for everyone to understand the sort of atrocities that humans are capable of inflicting on innocent people so that we never allow it to happen anywhere again. We've visited Yad Vashem (Jerusalem) twice. Most of my extended Family were killed in the Holocaust.

We have seen the moving wall two or three times (2 different versions/orgs running them). I've only been in DC twice, once in 1965 and again in 1970. 1970 I was there strictly to interview for a .gov and .mil job, no touristy stuff that trip.

There was a kid who moved to my hometown in his senior year, enlisted in the USMC after graduation and was KIA a mere number of days after arriving in VN. I really didn't know him more than to say hi, but went to his wake to pay my respects. A number of kids I went to high school with are on that wall and when I visit the moving wall, I pay my respects to all that I can find.
