These are pictures from when I was a volunteer at The Moving Wall
Tarentum, PA
July 21-July 27, 1999

This is me and Powmia, (pronounced as one word) my POW/MIA Bear.  He goes with me everywhere.  He was with me everday when were at The Moving Wall. This was taken by my friend "Syl" one of the many great Vets that I met during the week!

This is Powmia!
He would make himself comfortable in the wheelchair while we would help visitors.

These are The Colors along with the wreaths that match. This display stayed up all week.
These were both taken by "Syl"

This is me in the opening ceremony. A carnation was placed at the panel of each of the 95 local people on The Wall. A bell would ring when each name was read.

This is me, another volunteer and The Gold Star Mothers.  I had so much fun working with them. They had more energy than I did!

This is what I left at the panel of my POW/MIA's.
They list each name and say that they are my adopted POW/MIA's, to please help bring them home because their cause was just.

These are the names of my POW/MIA's. Barnes, Batt, Bobe, Foster, Smith, Lacey and Fallon. The picture of Colonel Fallon's name didn't turn out very clear, but we did get this picture of me pointing to his name.

This is the V.F.W. Post 5758 from Tarentum, PA. They are the group that sponsored The Moving Wall. This picture was taken during the parade as they were passing The Wall. If you look close, you can see that they are all looking at The Wall as they pass. This is such a great group of people and I am very thankful that I have met them. I am even more grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Dan Wolfe and Mr. Willison (the Vice Commander, Ladies Auxiliary Secretary and the Commander of the Post) for allowing me to volunteer. They have taught me a lot!

This is the POW/MIA float that was in the parade.

This picture was also from the parade. It is the Vietnam Veterans, Inc. of Pittsburgh When we took this picture I never knew that I would have the chance to be with them again in September!
