Ever wonder why the Viet Nam Memorial evokes such strong feelings from people? After all, its just another war memorial, and not particularly esthetically pleasing or heroic in its presentation at that. Yet people are deeply moved when they are in its presence, and it has become a symbol of the transformation of all of humankind. The reason is actually quite simple and extremely profound. For it is the Memorial for the War That Ended War. That war was the most grotesque, pointless, hideously horrendous, endless and dreadfully catastrophic war in its impact of all time. All who were involved whether by being there or by totally rechanneling their life by not being there were irrevocably transformed for life. And it all ended so ignominiously on that rooftop with the escape helicopter and the dumping of war equipment overboard at sea.
