What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

San Jose Viet Nam Veteran's Memorial

This is right by where I got off the bus the other day on my way to catch the train.  It is by the visitor's center just east of the hockey arena.  It lists all the soldiers from San Jose who passed away in the Viet Nam War.
