In memory of Carroll Countians who made the supreme sacrifice
surrounded by the names and images of nineteen local heroes.
This memorial is dedicated to mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, husbands, sons, daughters, lovers friends, and most of all dreams of the men and women “from Carroll County” who risked it all in Vietnam.
