i thought they were supposed to have vet names engraved their that were summitted by family members. i submitted my dad's info before the memorial's dedication, i asked an employee of mine who was visiting washington after the cerimony to do the pencil / paper rub for me on dad's name, but nothing was their. are they going to do the engraving?? that was now 2 years ago :shock:

We were at the dedication ceremony, too. I've got a bunch of pictures that I can post. (When Mrs. Mudge shows me how to do it, that is.)

Mudge the computerly challenged :shock:
