Most of ya'll know about our ICCC, I think? Iraq Coalition Casualty Count? http://icasualties.org/oif/

Right about the time Pat & Michael started up the ICCC, Chet Borowski started memorializing every lost soldier's name, using the ICCC list.

He's since developed a whole traveling exhibit.

Here's what he emailed to Pat last night:

The display of the traveling National Vietnam Veterans Memorial will open in downtown Woodstock, Illinois on 5/26 with Blackhawk helicopter fly-overs, a Vietnam War recipient of The Medal of Honor speaking, and bag pipers a piping.

Thousands are expected to visit.

Traveling Coalition Memorial will stand but a few feet from "The Wall" for an entire week.

The Coalition Memorial Archive will be set up in the Woodstock Square gazebo for viewing. Families of the Fallen from Iraq will be present and will be humbly presented with the Coalition Memorial Sympathy Card.

Hoping you can join us! Chet Borowski, Coalition Memorial at N1190 Peters Road, Sharon, Wisconsin. Home: 262-736-9547; Work: 920-674-8196 Addendum: attached is latest brochure update.

Ironic, eh? The Nam Wall and the Iraq Wall side by side. A perfect illustration of "Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it."
