Juxtaposition

Alongside a secondary highway, in San Juan, Texas, there’s a little park that we pass often.

There’s a mini Lady Liberty, so we’ve often wondered what the park was all about.

Last week, we finally stopped to check it out.

The park is a war memorial, dedicated to armed forces members from the area who died serving their country in various wars since WW2 . Its name is Liberty Park.

The subject of this post, and my feature photo is the juxtaposition of the words carved in the back of the bench and the abandoned items on the bench that hinted that maybe someone had spent the night there. What would be your guess about this scene?

    I think it is just sad that in such a sacred space there are those who cannot even clean up after themselves.

      I agree Anne. Unless it was someone with a mental disorder, or drug/alcohol issues … then although it’s still sad and disrespectful, it would be more understandable. Have a great rest of your day!
