A young boy and his father journey to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to find the name of the grandfather he never met. As they trace the engraved letters, they confront the weight of loss and pride. What stories lie behind each name, and how will this visit shape their understanding of family and sacrifice? This poignant tale, seen through the eyes of a child, explores the deep emotions tied to remembrance and legacy.
