Hi Peter,

Somethings never change! ;-) The wall looks just the same as it did on Day 6 
of the 6 DAY WAR 1967 when I was photographing Israelis' and soldiers 
praying on this very spot. The first time to see it, particularly on such an 
incredible day was quite moving!

Although not of the Jewish faith, I too stood there and said a prayer 
thanking the Great Spirt for keeping me safe while covering my first real 
shooting war! It was a great day to be alive!

cheers,
ted
