We visited the Vietnam Memorial last week -- it's very moving -- I remember there was a lot of misgivings about how the memorial would look or whether it was an appropriate memorial before it was built (and something about the designer?).

My favorite memory of my daddy was him taking me to Krystal (similar to White Castle in other parts of the US) almost every Saturday. It was always just him and me. Nothing spectacular but it has always stuck in my head as "our time" (though it wasn't like I had to share him with any other siblings as my brother was already gone). Today, I still love Krystal hamburgers and it always brings back those memories.
