Vietnam Memorial State Park, New Mexico




Don't know how this state park ended up where it did, but it's in a lovely, out-of-the-way part of the state.




Atop a hill. Beautiful vistas. The wind. 



Shimmering aspens whispering in the perpetual hilltop breeze. They must look spectacular in the fall.  



It's a place of beauty.



There are places for reflection. 



There are places for sharing.



A gift shop.


There's also a museum, larger than one would suppose from the outside. It seems to pay especial attention to the veterans.

The memorial invites one to slow down, to be quiet for awhile.
