US Marine tribute
In Queen Elisabeth park in Paraparaumu, there is a memorial to American Marines.
There is a NZ-American Association!? So, are there lots of Americans in NZ? That's a nice memorial but a sad one. I guess many of them never got to return home to their families. I hope the world never experiences another such war.
A nice tribute. Its sad how many young men lost their lives or were mentally and physically damaged.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice thing to do because in war we are all joined as we fight together.
ReplyDeleteWow! I learned something today. I lost an uncle in WWII in the Marshall Islands.
