About This Memorial

"Our family strolled through. Awe inspiring memorial. Really touching place to visit and teach our children about history. I'm also glad when the park was designed they intended it to be regularly used, as there was even a space for our kids to run around while still being respectful of the memorial. Thank you to our country's Vietnam Veterans!"
