Beautiful memorial park, inside which is the Bataan Death March memorial. In the same park: the Vietnam monument is the most touching display of appreciation that I have ever seen to veterans. Made a bigger impact on me than the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. Plan for extra time in this serene park!

This veterans park pays tribute to every war America was involved in on a marble timeline. And there are a lot.
