This video was taken by some dirt bike riders along the continental divide, who stumble upon a Vietnam memorial in the woods.

Thank for the link.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Thank you for the link.

And thank you for your service, all of you who served, whatever the times of your service

That is very cool! Would love to see it myself but I really like that it seems to be an unpublished location. I pray it never be vandalized.

Vandalized or forst service or BLM come in and destroy it because it wasn't permitted.

Carrumba - what a labor of love.

[Rick Hodges]

I would love to see a translation of all the inscriptions.

This monument deserves a military honor guard.

Remember the cross in the middle of the California desert that was built 40-60 years ago to remember WW1 vets.

An atheist finally noticed it after all those years and as far as I remember several court battles are still being fought and the monument has been vandalized several times because of its location beeing made public.

I hope that young lady NEVER discloses that labor of love.

I can not guess how many dollars were spent for the cut stone,the trips to set them nor the trips to gather the rock and place it around the monument.

This is strange to me. It honors servicemen of all nations who fell in VN except US.

[Bad Water Bill]

It might be one GI paying tribute to all of the other countries folks he served with or the project is not finished yet.

Only time will tell.

That was my first fear for it. I work for a state agency that manages a lot of lands. Some of the idjits make bad policy and decisions like that. With the greenies I wouldn't be surprised if they took secret delight in undoing a "war" memorial. The old WW2 and Korean War vets who got their VA loan paid for degrees are all retired. Now we seem to be managed by draft dodging, dope smoking hippies who aged with bitterness.

Honor those that have fallen.

Thank you for sharing

Our current government sees all who served, are serving and will serve as home grown terrorists. Do you really think they care to protect our monuments no matter where they are?

I really wish that young lady had never taken a video of that site now many will seek to find and yes maybe deface it.
