Vietnam Memorial Pictures

 

It's Memorial Day in the United States, and while many are taking the time to barbecue hamburgers and hot dogs, the purpose of the holiday is to honor soldiers and sailors who died in service to the country. Second Life has a number of war memorials. Among them a virtual replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This is a war that stands out in American history, over fifty-eight thousand dead, and in the end the forces that America had been fighting won the conflict. The Newser was at the memorial, taking a few pictures.
