ARRL's "Diamond Terrace" Memorial

I do NOT understand this "fad" of placing bricks on the GROUND
to memorialize someone. I am not about to memorialize anyone
about whom I care or whom I respect by placing their name on
the ground where thoughtless people wipe dog-poop off their shoes
and spit their gum. I don't know who first thought of this fad
(and Lord, I hope it's a "passing fad"),
but it's a bad idea and I would never, ever do it.
Build a wall with the bricks, or anything else
other than a "walk on you daddy" place.

Could be like a Vietnam Vets memorial - in black and below ground
level.

Many of us cherish the Memorial. You, apparently, do not.

You have no friends' names engraved upon The Wall. I do.
You don't know what a Combat Infantry Badge requires. I do.
You've never parachuted from an aircraft. I have.
You've never been to The Wall. I have.

Please, leave the Vets' memorial out of your mindless meanderings.

I've been to the Wall. For all the controversy generated when it was
designed, and built, it is perhaps the most fitting and dignified
memorial out of all the memorials I've seen. Sobering. Nothing to stop
you in your tracks like watching someone bawling their eyes out reading
the names of their lost buds or making a tracing of the same.

Keep it out of the stupid arguments in this group.

Knock it off Rambo-wannabe.

You have no friends' names engraved upon The Wall. I do.

Not a requirement of the US amateur radio community.

You don't know what a Combat Infantry Badge requires. I do.

So, where did you EARN one? In your dreams?

You've never parachuted from an aircraft. I have.

BFD. I did that once.

You've never been to The Wall. I have.

When I was last in DC it was decades ago. "The Wall"
wasn't even a concept, let alone a war in southeast
Asia. There WAS a real, shooting war in northeast
Asia then. Were YOU there? In Korea?

Please, leave the Vets' memorial out of your mindless meanderings.

Please give some sign that you are ACTUALLY into
some form of amateur radio...not just some idle
dreamer who has watched the Military Channel on cable
TV too much.

Go scream somewhere else, REMF.

Go jump out of an aircraft without a parachute. I've done that
several times...have you?
