A Veterans Memorial – A Place for Stillness and Contemplation

As evidenced by the popularity today of numerous meditative or spiritual pathways, there is universal longing for a peaceful state of mind, a place to get in touch with one’s inner wisdom. The hope is to achieve a perspective where small matters drop off, clearing the way for a feeling of inner calm. A powerful incentive for such introspection is often a quiet place of beauty such as a shrine, reflecting pool, nature walk, ceremonial gate, temple, or memorial.
