6 June 2003
I went back to the Community Veterans Memorial Park to take a few more photos.
I saw the gentleman above taking some notes.
I thought that he had something to do with the Memorial.
I want to commend on two things.
The placement of a statue of a young boy and some writing on a model of a Vietnamese building/temple...it had chinese characters.
Besides a Chinese dragon, which I thought were out of character.
He informed me that he was going to guide a few older veterans this coming Wedsenday.
We swap a few stories.
He was in the Army Air Corps before it became the Air Force.
He was a clerk for in some Headguarters.
He and I both saw the stack of M16's with the flowers in the muzzles.
He asked if I wanted my picture taken looking at that stack.
He took mine...is in my gallary...so I took his.
It's sad that they are leaving us everyday and soon there won't be any more stories.

MillRatUSMC,

Give another shot at posting the photo. Could not open.

I would like to see it and I think others would too.
