It is being dedicated as a memorial to those who have lost their lives in the war against terrorism. As Americans, we have all heard stories of the soldiers who came home from Vietnam, and were cursed and spit on and treated with hatred and disrespect. They were just doing a job that they were asked to do, but they were a symbol of a war that the American people were against, and they were easy targets. We owe those men and women – all men and women who have served our country, in war time and in peace – our respect and our gratitude. That is what Veteran Falls represents. We did not want to wait until this war is over, and our memories began to fade. Our veterans and troops need this NOW and the American people need this now, to pay tribute to those who have left their homes and families and put their very lives on the line for our freedom. God Bless our Veterans and Soldiers.
