Agent Orange Quilt of Tears Memorial Day Display

I hope everyone has had a nice weekend and that Memorial Day has brought all of you a heart full of pride & love as you reflect upon the ones we honor & remember today. God bless all our heroes…past, present & future…every one!

Henry & I are still trying to catch up after our journey. We spent two days displaying The Quilt Of Tears on the East Knoll just a few hundred yards from The Wall. What an incredible two days! The weather was absolutely beautiful all weekend.

The first picture below of The Quilts was printed in the Monday edition of the Washington Times.

The photographer from The Times spent a really long time hanging out looking at The Quilts, reading the blocks, taking pictures & just basically taking in the effect of it all...I think she was very intrigued by it all. Before she left she told me that one of the pictures might be used in the paper & it was.

I really like the picture that was chosen & I think that it speaks for itself. I think by using the picture she took through the leaves of the near by trees sort of sends a unique message about herbicides... don't you?

When the page is loaded go over on the right hand side where the picture of the Vet with the flag is... just below the picture you will see a button that says "enlarge"... please click on it & scroll thru the 4 pictures...Picture # 4 is of The Quilts & was printed in the Monday edition of the Washington Times.


As people leave The Wall they are automatically attracted to the blazon orange.... The Quilt Of Tears just beyond,that are displayed adjacently on the East Knoll.


On Saturday I don’t remember a time all day that there weren’t people standing shoulder to shoulder at the foot of each row of Quilts reading & looking at everyone single block.





Sunday was pretty much the same with the exception of a short slow down when the Rolling Thunder Ride started.
