Vietnam Memorial near Angel Fire.
Stoped in there for a little while. Was a very beautiful area and the story behind it was very moving. I cried more than a little. Thank you Paco for the suggestion.
This is just a picture from the area, just liked it. |

It's a beautiful place, and an important story about how it came to be.
I saw it in 1996. |

Melody,
Thanks so much for posting some pics. I've yet to email mine to David so he can post them. I had lots of sand in my eyes there also. Think it's because it's New Mexico. Pack

The Vietnam Veterans National Memorial In Angel Fire, New Mexico This Memorial is located in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo mountain range in Northern New Mexico.
