    We must forever honor and never forget the sacrifices made in our name. Touch the Names is a deeply powerful tribute to the men and women whose names live forever on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. In a stirringly theatrical reminder of every war's human toll, we hear the voices of the survivors as they honor and celebrate the all-too-brief lives of spouses, parents, friends and strangers. Taken verbatim from the thousands of letters and mementos that have been left at the base of the wall since 1982, this play is an eloquent portrait of the many lives that were touched by the Vietnam War. Touch the Names offers a rare opportunity to set aside our differences and share a moment of understanding, as politics fade into the background and love takes center stage. Created by the man who brought us Love, Janis, Hank Williams: Lost Highway and It Ain't Nothin' but the Blues , Randal Myler's stunning creativity is accompanied by the soulful poetry of live music written and performed by the renowned Chic Street Man.
