For your final readings of Times of Change, I would like you to set aside some time on Monday (Memorial Day) to read the choices above. Once you are done, I would like for you to post in your blog a note to the men and women on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. After what you have learned over the past few days, and what you saw when we went to D.C., what would you want to say to them?

First off i would like to say that all of your courageous and unselfish acts will live on in Americas history forever and this great nation will look up to see what you have accomplished for this great country as of today being memorial day. You have probably heard the same note and letter a thousand times that we thank you, but on this day it is more than just to thank you, on this day you should be respected and sought after to its fullest potential. So what i am trying to say is thank you for your great service to this country and way to keep it as nice as it is today.
