remember our veterans



this memorial was opened on memorial day of 2004. dedicated to all soldiers who died in world war II, specially the allied soldiers.







each post/pillar represents one allied country who fought during the war, each state of america is also represented by the same post/pillar.



this wall is where you can find the gold stars. each star represents 100 american soldiers who died in WWII, and there are about 4, 000 stars here.



this one is for us! the war in the philippines was also destructive and devastating. many filipino and american soldiers died defending our country against the japanese.
