Maryland XLVIII

Recently I was returning from a wedding in Pennsylvania. It was about an hour or so above Philadelphia, so when I hit the Chesapeake House going south on  Rte 95, I decided it was a good time to stop.

After a quick bite and a little rest, I wandered out back from the touristy stuff in side to discover a memorial to women who have served. You , still, don't see to many of these, so I checked it out. 

While it is not specific to Vietnam, our sisters are certainly included in this honor. As you will see in future posts about this spot, Vietnam did play a huge role in its design.

Today, however, just the monolith from the site.

There is more here and as promised when we return you will see the larger connection to Vietnam.

Next time, on October 25th, join me in Massachusetts. See you, as always, at 9:00 am.

If you have been following along at all, you will have seen that a number of you, like Joan from Wisconsin, Tony from Texas, Mike from Maryland, Ron from Florida, Tim from Virginia, Molly from Florida (several times now), Colleen from Pennsylvania (now three times!) Elli from Maryland and Peg and Ray from Florida (more than once!), among others have responded to my request to send memorials you have seen in your area or from where you have traveled. I even got one from Ireland.

These generous submissions have helped to expand the knowledge of how we remember and honor the men and women who served in or were lost in Vietnam.

I thank all who have participated.

If YOU have any such photos or knowledge about these memorials and sites not already here, I would love to know of them. Please send them along to the email address on the left side of this page and I will gladly share them here.

I hope all these listed here will encourage YOU to send along photos and join the group.
