Thanks for the photos.

If anyone ever has a chance to visit the New Jersey Vietnam Memorial, do so. Although this Memorial honors the New Jersey Vietnam Vets, there is also a history museum that is just fantastic. I believe they said it's the only history museum in the States devoted to the war and the history surrounding the war and the country of Vietnam. I can post a couple of my photos if anyone wants to see them.

Here's the web site: http://www.njvvmf.org

A couple of photos from the NJ Vietnam Memorial.
We visited some friends in NJ & they took us to the memorial. Brought back a lot of sad memories for me.

The New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial honors all those who served our country and state during the Vietnam War, especially the 1,562 New Jerseyans who did not return home. It is a powerful and fitting tribute to their sacrifice.

The Three Statue Memorial is very moving.
It represents the soldiers who were wounded or killed in Southeast Asia, the women who served and all those who eventually came home.

The Museum is right next to the memorial.
The Vietnam Era Museum and Educational Center is the first educational center and museum of its kind in the United States. Dedicated in September 1998, the center is devoted solely to gaining an understanding of the conflict in Southeast Asia and the surrounding political strife in America.
