The young boy in this photo understands what it means to "Honor the Vietnam Veterans". He is pictured with his grandfather who is a Vietnam Veteran. I think that the picture says more than I could write, so please, read the short paragraph and then look at this heartfelt photo.
Down through the Generations Welcome Home Reunion 2009 had many very special moments but none any more special than when Crossville's own William Gravelle knelt in silence before the Traveling Tennessee Wall to pay his respects to those from our State who gave their all in the name of Freedom. Without any prompting, Williams own Grandson stepped beside him wearing an Army Shirt his mother had made for him bearing two photos of his Grandfather William when he was in the Military and then young Hunter J. Lastres raised both his hands with American Flags as if to let the names on the Wall know that they were indeed Home where we fly the Flag of Freedom with pride. Mr. Gravelle was with the USMC Golf 2/7 68-69 in Vietnam. The photo was taken by Heather Gravelle Lastress
