Texas XX

I have mentioned, in the past, my visit to Austin and the mock-up of a proposed memorial. The memorial was to rest on the lawn of the Capitol Building, but only a "Coming Soon" sign was there at the time.

I have not been able to return to Texas to visit the now completed memorial, hopefully this will happen someday.

I did get looking at my pics of the mock up which was in the LBJ Library and decided that I might be able to pull some faces out to share.

The memorial depicts a group of soldiers on patrol, but, today just their faces, honoring their service and diversity.

Here the promised faces:

The memorial has several scenes around the base.

As I said above, I really hope to get back to Austin and take photos of the actual memorial and you can be sure that when that happens I'll post them here.

Next time, on the 8th, we will revisit Virginia, so meet me there, as always, at 9:00am.

To see additional memorials from Texas, or any other state, please click the state name on the left side of this page.

I will ask, as I do at the end of nearly every post now, for anyone who has pictures of Vietnam memorials not seen here to please send them to me. I will give you full photo credit for the pic and any information about it you may know. Check your state, or anywhere you may have visited, from the list at the left, or any place else. Please send them to the email at the left or directly to me at Ldddad@comcast.net. Thanks.
