Reading Radar

SL’s not always about fun and games. It’s not always about the wacky good times of lag, missing inventory items, attachments up your butt, and niceties like that. Sometimes someone builds something in SL that gets your attention and helps you remember things in a meaningful way.

The Wall is one such place in second life. Everyone’s heard of the Vietnam Vet’s Memorial , aka “The Wall,” but most of us have probably never been there. The Wall in SL can help change that… ok, it’s not the RL location, but it gives you a really well done sense of the place and the enormity and solemnness of the real memorial.

With something like 56,000 + names on it, this memorial reminds us how just one war brought so much pain to so many lives… that many sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers who never came home. That many parents, siblings, wives, and children who had to deal with the loss.

We’ve killed too many of them in our history.
