Lynchburg's Monument Terrace



For my final post about our road trip to Lynchburg last weekend, I wanted to post about Monument Terrace, which serves as a memorial to veterans of past conflicts.

The memorial has been built into one of the many bluffs that are the hallmark of this city. At each terrace there is a place to stop and reflect on those who served.  I have photos here for Vietnam, WWII and WW1; there is also one for Korea.  And soon enough, Iraq and Afghanistan, I'm sure.

As I happened upon this memorial, I considered its timeliness for the week of Veterans Day and was glad I'd have such an appropriate note to close this series with.

Thanks again veterans.  We appreciate your service.
