Hunter Mora, grandson of Marine Vietnam War veteran Donald Mora, looks for the names of his granddad's fallen comrades from the war at the traveling Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Voinovich Park in Cleveland June 12, 2012. Mora served from 1963-1969 and lost 12 of his close friends. Seeing the names of fallen comrades was difficult for Mora and brought back a lot of emotions, he said. A Marine sentry stands guard at the wall from 8 a.m.-10 p.m., and Marine veteran Cleveland police officers volunteered to take the night shifts. More than 750 Marines will be in Cleveland all week displaying Marine aircraft, vehicles and equipment, as well as interacting and sharing with the public the values and character of the Marine Corps. One of the culminating events will be a Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstration, which showcases Marines' ability to assault from ship-to-shore via ground and air, June 16-17 at Burke Lakefront Airport.
