Troy, New York War Memorials

About This Memorial

The Rensselaer County Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Troy, New York, honors the men and women who served and died in the Vietnam War. Dedicated in 1991 after years of planning and fundraising, it features three main elements: a sandbagged bunker-style wall listing the names of 45 fallen soldiers from the county, a bronze statue depicting three combat servicemen representing all branches of service, and an anchor chain from a Navy destroyer that served in Vietnam. The memorial's inscription reads 'We shall be remembered: As children we played, as men we fought, as brothers we will always be together.' It stands as a tribute to local sacrifices during the Vietnam War era.
