Michigan XIII

We have visited Veterans Memorial Pointe, near Troy, before and as promised I will share some additional features of this lovely tribute.

Throughout the park there are any number of these small, nameless, tributes to our various involvements over the years.

Just beyond the bridge lies the memorial to our brothers and sisters who were lost in Vietnam.

 

Just below a now small tree is a plaque which is nameless, but perhaps the iconic image and sentiments here are, in fact, enough.

Detail from above

There are a number of other details here that I will share soon.

Later this week please return here for a brief Veterans Day salute at 11am on Saturday.

If you are following along at all, you will have seen that a number of you have responded to my request to send me memorials you have seen in your area or where you may have traveled. 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.
