A friend of mine sent me these 2: Here is something interesting that I’ve never seen before. Mysterious Vietnam Memorial Its a Soldiers Memorial, a tribute to all soldiers and allies who fell in Vietnam dating back to 1945, built by some dedicated Vietnam veterans At their own expense and who wish to remain anonymous. Its rumored that ashes of Vietnam vets have been scattered there. The Vietnamese proverb (Ai bao Troi Khong co mat) is Engraved on one of the memorial foot stones - Its an old Buddhist Proverb to a non Christian God and interpreted would mean God has Eyes, He sees and He knows. (There are many translations to this) This video was taken by some dirt bike riders along the continental divide In Colorado, who stumbled upon a Vietnam memorial in the woods. Whoever did it, put a lot of time and money into it. Evidently hunters And possibly some Vets must be aware of it as there are numerous 7.62, 30.06 rounds and good luck coins on the ledges between the stones. Who Built it and how did it get there? In the middle of nowhere! Http://youtube/watch_popup?v=axhZ0Tx2L4U Many think it is a memorial about American losses in Viet Nam but the article below explains that it is not....

Veteran Lt Col Stuart Allen Beckley created it, with the blessing of the US Forest Service. Read the entire article for a better insight....
