Delaware XXVII

 I have written previously that my wife has often said that this project was meant to be and that I was the one meant to do it. While skeptical of any such ideas, enough things have happened that sometimes I admit that there just might be something to them.

I was recently in Delaware as I lost my older brother. During the upset and turmoil that these events always cause, I went to a restaurant with some family member on one of the very long days we tried to make arrangements and hold each other up.

Vietnam memorials were not on my mind.

We came out of the restaurant and I glanced across the parking lot to a small park in which there was clearly some kind of memorial. I walked over and it was a war memorial dedicated to all from this town who had served in our various wars. 

Three names of a local heroes, lost in 'Nam, were engraved on the memorial.

Somethings were meant to be.

 

 Next time, on September 25th, we will revisit Maryland, so join me there, as usual, at 9:00 am.

To see additional memorials from Delaware, or any other state, please click a state name on the left side of this page. Please note that Canada, Ireland, and Puerto Rico have been added to the list.

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, 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.
