The Secret of Sargent’s Mesa: Hidden Vietnam War Memorial Holds Lonely Vigil
Somewhere off a beaten trail in a remote portion of Colorado, a mysterious monument lies hidden away, miles from civilization. The accompanying video raises more questions than answers: who crafted this solemn piece? how did it end up in this isolated field? why all the secrecy? Yet the point is clear, the stone memorial stands as a lonely testament to the sacrifices of a generation.

One hundred years ago today the United States Congress declared war on the German Empire after President Woodrow Wilson had asked for a special joint session of congress on April 2nd. Our "Dough Boys" went over there and proved to be the key in the armistice signed on November 11, 1918. Dough Boy monuments to our heroes were erected all over the country. Above are two of them. The first one is in Indiana, PA (hometown of Jimmy Stewart) and the other is from Warwick, R.I. Please share your images of other Dough Boy monuments.

On 5 May 1862, a Confederate foraging party was camped at the Dragoon Springs Stage Station (located a few miles south of the present day town of Dragoon, AZ). They were rounding up stray cattle and horses to provision the garrison at Tucson. Chiricahua Apache warriors attacked, killed four troopers and made off with the horses and cattle. The four were buried where they fell and their graves are to this day maintained by the Arizona Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. This simple marker commemorates this battle.

Located at the battle site a few miles south of Dragoon, AZ, this simple monument attests to sacrifice of four Confederate soldiers killed in action against the Chiricahua Apaches on 5 May 1862. These are the only Confederates killed in action in what is now Arizona. They were buried where they fell and the graves are still extant. The Arizona Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans maintains the graves.

I did not take a picture or can not seem to find it but I was able to go on a leaders spur ride of sorts and was at the beaches of Normandy... very inspiring. I believe that the service should figure it out that once as part of your career once you hit 8 years you get a four day paid to visit the invasion of Normandy and the taking of the hedge rows.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs -
Yes, Sir. It is truly humbling to stand within the "walls" of it.
