“Moving monuments there”
I don’t care for the design of the Vietnam war memorial.
That gash memorializes the soldiers’ deaths, not their heroic lives.
The gash emphasizes the idea that the war was our government’s tragic mistake rather making the the soldiers that fought in it the center of attention.
Those soldiers deserved to be remembered as more than parts of a mistake.
But it reflects how the country felt after the war so that’s that.
Sadly yes. The politicians were the mistake. Not those that served. I never cared for the design but like you said there it is and that’s that. Choked me up when we went knowing the outcome and sacrifice made by so many.
