This monument represents the war efforts. The broken family, the shattered lives and family that will never reunify in as the parents are dead from the bombs dropped on the country for the freedom and liberation. I suppose death does bring freedom from those that want to drop bombs on you and tell you it is for your freedom.
They are looking for you, waiting and wanting to go and see when there family members will return and be with them. This is what this monument means. that is what it is supposed to represent. This photo was taken on the Hien Luong Bridge that was the dividing line for the war. the 17th Parallel.
The shy was changing rapidly when I was there.
Here are a few other shots with different hues, the ever changing sky line that depicts the changing feeling I have had with the knowledge I know now, More then ever as I get to see and talk with people who have and were fought, the change in sky is fitting for what has transpired.
Some people never went home. But those that sat in offices went home every night. They kept the gears of the war marching working and told other to do the same. They are still alive and still breathing for the many lives they have destroyed for there paper pushing. What a shame. It is even more a shame those that listened and did what they did because someone else told them to.
That is about it for this one. Thanks for having a look at the Hien Luong Bridge and area around the 17th parallel. I have more to see in the coming days.
Check out Pinmapple for my map of places that I have been and will go back to in time.
