The Shot at Dawn Memorial is heartbreaking and I find the most easterly location so poignant and touching. Such a lovely spring weather and blooms accompanied your visit. The place is incredibly well done and perfectly cared for.

Yes I think their plan was a memorial site with lots of open green space and trees, which I like. They had done it really beautifully.

I’ve never heard of it until now. It seems really well done, respectful, and comprehensive. Thanks for bringing this place to my attention.

With the word arboretum, I was expecting a botanical garden but for trees. It’s nice to see the wide variety of people and things that have been memorialized here. I can see why this was such a moving place to visit.

It really is Meg, you’ve described it perfectly. They do a great job of making it personal – every story I read had an impact with the individual’s sacrifice, sadness, braveness and everything in between. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to read and comment.

They have done such a lovely job of the site – really poignant and important memorials, devastating stories, but at the same time beautiful gardens, trails for kids and activities on. It was a lovely balance. The still and unborn babies for sure made me cry.
