Amazing and eerie coincidence during the reading of names at The Wall
I heard this story today on WAMU, the DC public radio station. They were speaking with the head of the Vietnam Memorial Committee. He shared stories of strange and wonderful coincidences that occurred at The Wall.
This story happened during the annual Veterans Day name reading on the 10th anniversary of its dedication.
A very small woman was standing in the line of people waiting to read their names. Directly behind her was a very large man. The wait was about an hour. Over that time, they spoke a lot and got to know each other just a little bit.
When her turn came, she read from her list of names. At the end, she said "and the last name on my list is my son, <name>."
The big man broke down. He had been searching for years for the family of the man who died in his arms on the battlefield. He found them that day.
To all my fellow vets, thanks for doing what you did. I wish you nothing but peace.
