Its a nice little stop. A place to walk around, consider our Veterans sacrifices and give thanks. I dont like the military hardware around on display because it represents war, destruction and killing but it is interesting to view the hardware up close and seems to be a requirement of making war to purportedly keep us safe and free. The bigger truth is hard to face but worth thinking long and hard about. Its a fine place to do that too. Imagine if we spent just half as much making peace and helping people as we do in our military. Who then would hate us? How much better would the would become after only a decade of all that goodness like Jesus said,we should practice.

I love this park. Its not a playground, but my 5 year old still finds it interesting when we go have lunch in the pavilion area. I wish Dixon would bring the fountain back. It was nice to watch.
