Vietnam Veteran Memorial
(Title is copied from a bench located just behind this statue.)
"The Veterans Garden has the sculpture of the soldier walking into a black granite wall, walking through time from past to now. The wall is polished to a high reflection, incorporating into the memorial the mirror image of the living. There is a gap in the line of bollards: the design committee specified that the sculpture be accessible; veterans and families of lost soldiers would want to touch the sculpture and to catch their own reflection in the wall. This is a place of connection between the living and the dead."
Taken with my phone for the Active Assignment Weekly - Commemorate. Cropped slightly and auto adjusted, so I could get it into the group in time. Such a beautiful park and memorials, I wanted to make sure they were included in the pool because this is such a meaningful challenge.
