Hidden Vietnam War Memorial in Colorado

Received an email from a Vietnam Veteran about a hidden war memorial in Colorado. Watching the video made me think about Vietnam veterans and how they are like the memorial. They are "there" but no one seems to know they are.
'Mysterious' Vietnam War Memorial Posted Nov 04, 2013 by EighthCard "Cycle ride from Tomichi Creek off of Highway 50 near Gunnison, CO up to the Continental Divide, where we found this war memorial tucked away in seclusion. You won't find it on any maps. An old local at the Tomichi Trading Post said the Park Rangers keep it off maps...the story is that a Vietnam Vet somehow used a chopper to sneak the pieces in. If anyone knows the true story, I'd love to hear it."

Unless you happen to know the person you are speaking with is a veteran, you really have no way of knowing you could be talking to a hero. They look like everyone else. They talk like everyone else when it comes to things they are interested in. The difference is, they don't act like everyone else. They just care a lot more about others than the other 93%.
