In the past, mourners stopped the clocks in the rooms or houses where their loved ones died. This was an especially popular ritual during the Victorian period and was thought to prevent bad luck as well as symbolize the loved one’s passage into a new life without time. It was commonly done in conjunction with covering mirrors, closing curtains and turning over portraits of the loved one.

We had the privilege of attending the dedication ceremony of the newly renovated Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall at the National Infantry Museum Foundation in Columbus, Georgia, on Vietnam War Veterans Day. The wall originally traveled and visited about over 200 Dignity Memorial locations, before retiring to the museum in 2014. The Georgia sun eventually took its toll, so the wall was refaced in a beautiful black granite.
Numerous Vietnam veterans were in attendance. General (Ret) Barry McCaffrey served as keynote speaker, and Colonel (Ret) Gregory Camp spoke about the history of the replica wall that provides soldiers and their families, as well as countless other museum visitors, the opportunity to visit, reflect and heal.
