TRAVEL - Walking Across America for
The American History Museum

iThis scene reminded me of the puzzles our family tried to put together around the dining table, when I was much younger.

I stopped by this Memorial along the roadway. Dedicated to the 216,000 men
and women of North Carolina who served and the more than 1600 who were
killed or missing in action during the Vietnam War. I paused. This plaque
reflects a truth that is often hidden, Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, The 4th of July
are more often calls for giant SALEs than a reflection or thought about those who
served to create, preserve and protect the opportunity to make all those sales.
Dedicated to the 216,000 who served and the more than 1600 who were killed
or missing in action... 1991. 1991.
This is not a reflection on a single state, but us. The mes and yous. The us that
make us the U.S.

A sign along the Highway told me the memorial was here, tucked away behind a
hill at a roadside stop and Welcome Center. It was a nice quiet place.

I walked around what looked like a putting green to read the names of those
engraved in the bricks on the far side. Perhaps the walk gave me time to think.
Maybe that was the intent.

I have to admit, I thought this sign was just for me. Yield to pedestrians. I liked that.

I have been impressed with the number of war memorials dedicated to those who
fought on the side of the Confederacy. Most are placed on very high pedestals.
This is the pride that is the South.

So often, when the theaters downtown closed, the rest of the town followed. It is
always nice to see the re-opening of a theater is a small town. It is a major step
in bringing back life to that part of our country.

Kim was trying to find me a copy of a book I have decided I would like to read;
once again. It is always fun to browse through used books. What is more
recyclable than books?

Graham had a number of signs that caught my eye. These were the kind of signs
that were everywhere in days gone by. It is nice to see some are still around
and some are being newly created.

This lawyer now longer officed in the building. Still, it was nice the new
resident attorney's didn't rush to cover this great sign... another blow against
stereotypes.

Clocks were placed downtown so people who walked about during their lunch
hour could get back to work on time. This one was still on the job in this
busy little township.

Members and Posts of
these organizations have
given us support along
our journey. I hope
this projects serves them
as well as they have served
this nation --
and us while we walk.

The links below can take
you to personal myspace
pages. I hope you will
keep up with what
we are doing, and add
to the project: drop us
a note, suggestions or
comments.


Natt's Myspace

This site follows us as we make our way along America's roads and highways, but this project is about raising awareness for a linear museum of American History called: The Walk.

The project is about one individual and then another: not one more important than the next, but each a link in the chain we call "America."
Millions of stories that should never be forgotten, perhaps preventing some future American from making their mistakes, or leading the next generation to a brighter future.

Our future is not written in stone. It never was. This nation was not left to us as a gift. It was left to us as a challenge. We can do no more. We should do no less.

I hope you enjoy looking
at these pages. Maybe
return to our beginning
and walk with us,
enjoy the things we saw
and maybe laugh at some
of the things we did.
Some suggest we have
lost our minds. Maybe.

May just ask if they
can help us. When I hear
that question, I am forced
to admit, "Many people hope you can."

The Faces Exhibit will be made of portraits
on tiles creating a Wall of men and women
who have been killed in combat. The Faces
Exhibit will be constructed in San Antonio, Tx.

I found this Dorothy
(Wizzard of Oz)
to be one of my all-time
favorite looks. Very,
very different in a very
wonderful way.
