The Wall by Eve Bunting is an amazing story about a father taking his son to meet his grandfather’s name on the Vietnam Veteran’s Wall in Washington. He tells him about his grandfather. The boy and his father get to meet other people who are visiting the wall and talk about tributes people that have left there. This is hard book to read and not cry through.
It is an important book to read. People need to remember those who have fought for our country. Even if you don’t believe in the wars they fought in they definitely earned the right to be remembered.
Take the time to write a soldier overseas, to call a grandparent and thank them for serving, to listen to someone you know tell you about their service. My sister and brother in-law are currently in the military. My father in-law and paternal grandfather served in World War II. Each of them was proud to serve our country.
I bet you have people you know that would love to be remembered.
