War Memorial
I have recently moved to TA and one of the prettiest and most meaningful walks I've found is at the War Memorial Park.
One of the main memorials, the atomic blast shaped fountain, is due for demolition. But it's one of the intrinsic memorials, specifically mentioned in Sir Sidney Holland (Prime Minister of New Zealand)'s speech when he dedicated the park on the 4th December 1955.
It's not just the sunken cross, or the semi-circular fresco, the park itself is the memorial, as are ALL the memorials in it.
"Te Awamutu and District War Memorial Park, built in proud and grateful memory of those men who served this country in the 1939-1945 war."
- Inscribed on a plaque at the entrance to the park.
This is a memorial for our children and grandchildren, as much as for us and those who went before. We should tell them the true story, which includes horrible things like atomic and nuclear being used as deterrents. With a sound education and a lot of hope, they should learn from the past. Do we have the right to remove a memorial that could open these conversations?
