Colorado XLIV

Returning, as I so often do, to Fountain, Colorado to the remarkable Railroad Park. The Wall here list dozens, if not hundreds, of names of those from the area that served our country. Not all were lost but all deserve to be remembered

All gave some, some gave all.

 I have posted from here before (and will continue to do so) and you can see a few of those other posts here, here, and here.

Today, simple three more heroes.

 

Next time, on the 12th of March, we will return to Delaware. So, as always, join me there at 9:00 am. 

To see Vietnam memorials from any state and Canada, Ireland, and Puerto Rico click on the individual names on the left side of this page.

If you are 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 and Molly from Florida, Colleen from Pennsylvania, and very soon Elli from Maryland, among others, have responded to my request to send me memorials you have seen in your area or where you may have traveled. I even got one from Ireland! These submissions help expand the knowledge of how we have remembered the men and women who served or were lost in 'Nam and you help to honor them. If you have any such photos, I would love to see them. Please send them along to the email at the left and I will gladly share them here. Thanks, once again, to all who have contributed.

Colorado XLIII

Once again I want to highlight this remarkable site in Fountain, which on several posts on this site I have referred to as Fountain Valley which is what the greeting sign says, but it seems the actual town name is Fountain.

You can see those other posts here, here, and here.

Fountain is a little south and east of Colorado Springs and about an hour and a half from Denver.

 Today, a few more of the heroes honored and forever remembered here.

 

Next time, on the 19th of January, we will return to Maryland. So, as always, join me there at 9:00 am.

Colorado XXXVII

 I visited Fountain, Colorado the last time I visited the state. I didn't know what to expect and after visiting a small, defunct memorial  about to give up when some teenagers happened to walk by. I asked them about memorials in the area and they directed me to this wonderful park further into the area.

Once called Caboose Park (look behind the tree on the right) and then Mayor's Park, it is now dedicated to those who served their country.

There are a number of notable features here, but today I will focus on the Honor Wall.

The following, in no particular order, are a few of the honored. They need no commentary from me.

 

There are many, many more here from 'Nam as well as our other conflicts, they like all who serve deserve our everlasting gratitude. their families need all the support they need, and they, too, our respect.

Next time, on the 13th, we will return to Delaware, so meet me there at 9:00am.

To see additional memorials from Colorado, 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.
