Mississippi Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Ocean Springs, Mississippi, United States

This is a great stop. The pictures drive home the sacrifice.

Today was day four of our trip from NW Illinois to New Orleans. We decided to take US 90 instead of I-10 in order to appreciate the towns along the trip as well as actually see the gulf! This is the first virtual we came upon after leaving our hotel. Seeing as this was the first day of our vacation where it did not rain on us, I took full advantage and strolled around the park a bit while collecting my information. That isn't to say that my feet stayed dry since there was some ponding near the country flags! It was nice to see so many others (locals?) enjoying the park and using the trails for exercise. I gathered my information, paid my respects, and headed out, continuing west.

Thanks for taking me to this wonderful memorial honouring veterans. TFTC

I can't wait to show my cousin all of the pictures we took here. He is a Vietnam veteran and still suffers mentally from his days in Vietnam. He can remember being spit upon when he returned, and screamed at, and all kinds of crazy stuff. I hope these pictures make him feel better. Thanks for keeping this virtual alive.

Nice place for a quick visit.

After a very short visit to Biloxi we grabbed a hire car and headed firstly East for a few caches then West for New Orleans. This was the first stop. I've seen some great War Memorials over the years and this one is up there ! Very moving with some great memorials. Info gathered and sent to CO.

Day 4 of our family vacation from Iowa. Our main goal was to see our son at the Barksdale Air Force Base and then head east with stops in New Orleans and Destin FL before heading back home.

This was the last one for the day. It was starting to get dark and there is so much to see here.
