Angel Fire Now a NM State Park...

by Rolway May 22, 2006 9:52AM PDT

The Angel Fire National Vietnam Veterans Memorial became a New Mexico state park in Nov. 2005. This is the first such state park in the nation dedicated only to Vietnam veterans. The state of New Mexico ultimately plans to invest $1.8 million in improving the site.

Founded by Victor Westphall (whose son was KIA in Vietnam) in 1971 and located in northern New Mexico's Moreno Valley, Angel Fire features a white chapel, a 6,000 sq. ft. visitors center and a memorial garden.

Some of the state's best scenery up there,

as well as a ski resort. Lets those who are inclined to, think about the contrast between God's creation and what man often does with it. (mark and others can tell you that 'Nam has beauty also, if you step carefully around the craters. )
