Mind blowing. Makes me think it was a combat soldier from
the early days of the older Indo Chinese wars. Perhaps as far back as the
Japanese occupation of VN during WWII. It's hard to figure out (without
lots of translation and other clues) if the person or persons is Vietnamese,
Indian, Japanese, French, American, Chinese or what. Its a great
reminder that the people of Vietnam were at war for a hundred years before we
ever heard of Vietnam. Perhaps the best thing to come out of our involvement
in Vietnam is the end of hostilities that were ongoing for so many
generations. I hope that whoever dedicated themselves to this monument has
found some peace.
