20th anniversary of the Wall. I don't know this Marine. I don't know any of his family members. I am not a relative, nor, am I a close friend of his. I am simply an individual who has not forgotten that freedom is not free. I have placed a commitment in my life to recognize that some have paid a very costly sacrifice for my freedom. And such a sacrifice should not, and will not, go unnoticed. I represented my Police Department by volunteering to drive to Washington D.C., to participate in the 20th anniversary of the Reading of the Names, which was sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. On Friday 8 November 2002 at 1050 hours, I was honored by reading his name. I paused when I read his name. The crowd was silent. This day it was unseasonably cold. The grass was wet from the dew. When I read his name, I could only pray that the good Lord has eased his friends and family's anguish. And I pray that his soul rests in heaven knowing that his efforts have not gone unnoticed, and, that many have grown up in a world who's freedom was secured by his efforts. Peace be with you.
