As you enter the park from one direction the first memorial you see is called The Weeping Wall, it lists no names but honors all who have served in peace and war. I was struck for some reason by the oranges floating in the basin. the veterans memorial is to the rear, left.
Coming in from the opposite direction you come upon this sign and the memorial to its right.
This memorial honors the 260 Sierra Madre residents who have served in action from the Civil War to the war in Iraq.
Photographs of many are here along with name tags, presumably for those whose pictures are not available.
There are a number of our comrades from 'Nam listed and
honored here. Here are just a few.
Sierra Madre is a little over 20 miles east of Los Angeles and the memorial park may be found at S. Hermosa Avenue and West Sierra Madre Boulevard.
Join me next time on the 28th when we return to Delaware, as usual at 9:00am.
To see additional memorials from California, or any other state, please click the state name on the left side of this page.
