Geocache Description:



Cache is located at N44°AB.CDE W88°FG.HIJ

Coordinates will take you to one of my favorite memorials for Veterans of Foreign Wars and their families. I find this one striking and deeply emotional in that some of the details in the Battlefield Scenes in bronze are full of emotion, urgency, suffering and loss. You should take time to study them and if you do this cache, you certainly will.

1. In the Battlefield referencing Inchon, there are A Red Crosses visible.
2. There are B loops of barbed wire in one of the scenes.
3. In the Nam Battlefield Scene you see C GI's carrying a wounded soldier or a GI killed in action.
4. In that same scene there are D GI's in a Huey.
5. One of the scenes reflects a high loss of life depicting E crosses.
6. There are F aircraft depicted in the Forgotten War.
7. There are G rounds of Howitzer ammunition (not counting the one the GI is picking up).
8. On Heartbrake Ridge, H parachutes are falling to the ground.
9. On the Panzer pictured, I big guns are visable.
10. Of the nine aircraft in the combined scenes, only J are biplanes.

The Frontline

The cache container is not located in contact with any gravestones, monuments, or other memorials. Please respect the area. Also, take care to replace the cache so that is it not readily visible to the casual passerby.
