As a thank you, here’s a couple quick phone photos of a nice veterans memorial in Las Cruces, NM with an area dedicated to VN veterans. And a dramatic display of a medical dust-off chopper.
They made a nice area, families with little kids playing in the grass, others just remembering friends.

The Old Man of the Organ Mountains looking down forever on his beloved valley and Las Cruces, NM from Soledad Canyon. I couldn't find any other reference to this but others must have seen it also, I came across it again at the right moment. Someday I'll get a better photo of it.

Las Cruces moon. As I struggle to meet that special open-minded and open-hearted Las Cruces lady to share life’s new adventures. I will not fall asleep like Chuck Berry in “Havana Moon”!

Perhaps the best book I’ve ever read. It will captivate you and at times sicken you, and definitely is a sleep-depriving read. Wonderfully written and factual. The Trump section is especially sickening.
