Pennsylvania IV

I really liked this memorial, so I decided to include it, even though it does not precisely meet the criteria of Vietnam Memorials.

The Prospect Hill Cemetery, in York, Pa. built this site to honor anyone who had been awarded the medals of Valor. It sits high on a hill overlooking the cemetery. The most intriguing component, I suppose, is that the lintel across the top is an actual piece of the World Trade Center. So, you might say that the site also pays homage to the 9-11 victims and heroes, as well.

Pennsylvania III

Not far from York is a town called Red Lion and I had heard that there was a memorial there. I went to the city offices and they directed me to the town Veterans Memorial. It is one, like so many is smaller towns, that is dedicated to all veterans.

While I was talking to the extremely helpful woman at the offices, she asked if I had seen the Court of Valor, at the cemetery, in York? I was not familiar with it so I went back to check it out. Perhaps I will post some pics of it in a later post.

Red Lion lost three loved ones in 'Nam and their names are inscribed on back of the monument, which stands in a city park.
