The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park is installed in honor of the Vietnam veterans within the premises of the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
This park features a massive B-52G Stratofortress and a tribute Wall in remembrance of the sacrifices of Vietnam War veterans.
The restored B-52 is beautifully painted, and displayed in a way to display all its grace and might even for a casual observer.
There is also a statue depicting a returning aviator, along with five flags that represent the military branches.
I found this park to be a fine spot to reflect quietly.
Also, for those who are traveling in groups it is a beautiful corner a for a bit of outdoor entertainment.
People can just simply sit on one of the free benches and enjoy snacks under the shadow of this huge WW2 Bomber.
The best part is that it is open to the public year-round and requires no admission, though I accessed this monument from inside the Museum of Flight.
I walked all around the Aviation Pavilion.
