Soldiers Remembered Traditional Geocache

The Maryland Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a place that you probably haven't seen or heard of. It's usually very quiet. But the grounds are beautifully maintained. It sits on a hill, with a harbor view (except for the leaves). The monument is well done.

You may feel sad, like I do, when you walk the circle and think about all those whose names are listed. But stopping to think of them, which is such a little thing, is the least we can do. Please visit.

I actually discovered this wonderful place while looking for a good hiding spot for a cache near the water. Another example of the unexpected to be found while Geocaching.

An internet search provided some of the memorial's history. Can you imagine what this memorial meant to those vets who worked hard to have it built? I'm not a vet, but this place means a lot to me too.

A brief history of the Memorial can be found here.
One person's association with the Memorial can be found here.

The cache has been moved from the location it was at for five years. It is now at the edge of the grounds. Park in the large lot to the east, walk up the pathway, and head for the trees.
