Reflections and Rememberance
Made by thorscipher_mason
On our walk through Highland last night, we wandered into the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial. I knew it was here for several years but have never walked the path. I've seen the memorial in Washington and had the same somber, sobering feeling as I wandered the path. I am not pro-war. I think the current war we are in is just as much of a mess as Viet Nam was. I do support our troops and wish I could do more. I have often looked at the Books for Soldiers website (http://booksforsoldiers.com/) and seriously thought of participating. I remember a M*A*S*H episode where Hawkeye got a mystery novel from home, and as he read through it, he passed around the previous chapters, ripped out of the book, to the rest of the camp, and how everyone was so anxious and excited to have a book to read. Yes, in the end, the final chapter was lost and Hawkeye never found out who done it. For those soldiers who have had their final chapter lost, I support you and remember you, even though I do not know your names or even your faces, or support this war we are currently mired in. ...and in a time when men feel safe to call war insane, Take one moment to embrace Those gentle heroes You left behind... Major Michael Davis O'Donnell inscription on monument in the Highland Park Viet Nam Memorial Garden.

Daily Phlog 05-25-07 If you are able, Save a place for them Inside of you. And save one backward glance When you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. ~Remember, by Major Michael Davis O'Donnell, helicopter pilot; 1 January 1970, Dak To, Vietnam; KIA on March 24, 1970 We go about our daily lives able to make simple choices, free to do the most mundane activities because their sacrifices. As we approach this holiday weekend it's important that we remember the heros who fight to protect us not only on this one day but everyday. I captured this photo at the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, at Highland Park, Rochester, NY. The statue is part of the walk of honor. Click here to learn more about the memorial.

'Twas quite freezy outside, but I really wanted to take the new fisheye lens out for a spin. Half the portrait shots I've taken with it are unforgivingly freakish, but the other half are really fun. Speaking of forgiving, I'm sure my favorite woman will be so for the picture title. ;-)

Went to the lilac festival today... most of the flowers were dead from the wind storm we had a few days earlier. Managed to find a few flowers that were worth photographing.

Apparently this multi-lingual monument to has been erected in Highland Park. I never noticed it before, and it certainly looks very new.
