Every day is some sort of holiday or celebration in the US. Wonder if the same is true for the rest of the world. Where is this moment from?

You mean the monument? It's a Vietnam War monument. I don't know where it is.

@lovebuglena I think DC is where they have the wall monument...I suppose it could be. I tried to find it online but kept coming up with the wall memorial.
