    Easthampton Veteran's Memorial - WW I plaques

    Easthampton Veteran's Memorial

    This spectacular monument is located in a grassy town green at the intersection of Main Street and…read morePark Street, It's on your left as you drive southbound on Route 10. The green has benches, a brick paved patio, and was decorated with dozens of small American flags surrounding the memorial. The memorial itself consists of three pieces. The main component is a huge double-sided monument for WW I and WW II and two smaller monuments; one each for Korea and Vietnam. The WW I -WW II monument is light gray granite with a center panel of ascending right angles (think of a wedding cake). To each side of the center are wings that fan outward. On the center panel of the WW I side are three bronze plaques that mirror the shape of the granite behind it. The top plaque's inscription reads: In Honor of those who served in the World War 1917- 1918 Twenty names follow a second inscription that reads "These gave their lives" The other 2 plaques are much larger and list the names of Easthampton's WW I vets. There are no plaques or inscriptions on the two wing panels. Horizontal granite slabs were added to create benches. The center panel of the WW II side also has three plaques. These are of a gorgeous brown background with crisp gold lettering. The top plaque reads "World War II". The second plaque reads "In Honor of those who served 1941-1945". Logos of the six service branches are next, followed by 61 names that "made the supreme sacrifice". The rest of the center panel, as well as the left and right wing panels are covered with full size plaques of all Easthampton's WW II vets. In front of the World War II side are two highly polished reflective black monuments; one for Korea on the left and Vietnam on the right. The Korean War monument has an engraved mark of North and South Korea bisected by the 38th parallel. The names, faces, and dates of three Easthampton vets who were killed in Korea are engraved on the monument. The words "Freedom is not free" are engraved at the bottom of the monument. The Vietnam monument is very similar. It also has a bisected map; this one of North and South Vietnam. The names, faces, and dates of five Easthampton vets who were killed in Vietnam are engraved on the monument. The words "See what we saw. Feel what we felt" are engraved at the bottom of the monument. It's a lot to take in. It's one of the most impressive memorials I have seen, The faces of the Korean and Vietnam vets really makes visiting the memorial a personal experience.

    Small but mighty is how I describe this place. I was not a…read moredinosaur kid - I was an oceanographer or astronaut type instead but there's no way I would pass up the opportunity to see dino footprints no matter what age or what I was into. Met up with a friend from the area en route to NH and we took a pit stop here. He told me you can see them best if you put a little water in the print to see the contrast and that really brought them to life. Couple tips: -Bug spray! Down by the water is mosquito heaven and I'm still picking my skin over a week later. -Solid footwear. You don't need hiking boots but a legit sole and covered toe would be good. It's slippery, slanted, and rocky. -sunglasses, water, or a hat. It's exposed and you'll cook. Don't plan your trip around this but def stop by if you're in the area!!

    Oh boy! Were my in laws and husband unimpressed!

But this is a beautiful free spot to check out on the Connecticut River. I quite enjoyed myself... But don't tell the kids it is jurassic park or anything... You don't need to deal with that fall out. Just a nice road side stop for a pleasant walk with a couple of signs of prehistoric life. No bathrooms and very little parking but there isn't enough to do n to keep you there long enough that you'll feel the need to pee.
