Reflections From Both Sides

The man wearing the suit is touching the Virtual Wall.
Inside the wall, several soldiers are watching this man.
The old man seems to be picturing and reminiscing about the soldiers
he had been fighting with during the Vietnam War.
I guess he is the only survivor of the war among his peers
since he looks very sorry as he is touching the wall with dead soldiers' names.
The soldiers in the wall seems to be trying to sooth
the man because he is feeling guilty that he is the only one to survive the fight.

I would feel terrible if
the people next to me all die leaving their families behind
and only I survive at the most.
But then, the passed ones would want me to live my life more fully, ever more.

Now I'm concluding that the man in the suit
is promising his comrades that he will live like he would die tomorrow
that he will live for their heart and soul.
