Mysterious Vietnam War memorial

[rmrc51]

I found this on another forum. It's from a biker who found this site. Here's her comment. This is really amazing!
======================================================================

"Cycle ride from Tomichi Creek off of Highway 50 near Gunnison, CO up to the Continental Divide, where we found this war memorial tucked away in seclusion. You won't find it on any maps. An old local at the Tomichi Trading Post said the Park Rangers keep it off maps...the story is that a Vietnam Vet somehow used a chopper to sneak the pieces in. If anyone knows the true story, I'd love to hear it."

Looks like a touching memorial. One that has a special meaning. Very nice.

That took a LOT of doing. Nice.

Sorry fellas. HogAir has the correct link. Can't figure out what happened when I copied and pasted the original. It works in my e-mails but not here.

Is this on public or private land??

What good are all the markers etched in Vietnameese if only a very few can read them?

I'd like to hear the full story also.

Looking at the dates and the whole set up, it comes full circle as native american memorials tend to do?

I'm with Gary, if someone knows the full story behind this monument I for one would love to hear it.
