Decoration ceremonies at monuments and memorials will take place all weekend. When you visit one, whether it be in the next few days or whenever, consider Who made it? Why did they make it? What ideas are expressed? Who is the intended audience? What is the exact location?
You’ll find that the statues, markers, and other memorials inform us just as much, if not more, about those who put them up than who they are dedicated to.
What memorials do you have around you and what can be learned from them?
