“I went up to the West End Overlook hoping to catch some lightning or maybe a rainbow, but once the storms passed, the sky turned crazy. So I stuck around, and when the sun started going down, the colors were beautiful! It just kept getting better and better. So glad I stayed that night; I almost packed up and left.”

“While walking along the North Shore, I noticed how the West End Bridge in the background framed the portrait of the happy homecoming depicted in the Vietnam Veterans Monument. I find this monument evokes the joy of a happy reunion and, at the same time, the sadness of remembering those who never returned.”
