"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends!
(2nd Marker):
made by the men and women who
served their country during the Vietnam War,
and the families at home,
who waited for their return.
We will remember.
We will reflect.
We will let the healing,
though long overdue, begin.
To all Veterans we say,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE.
We do not view this monument as memorializing the war, but rather as a way to ensure that the sacrifices of those who served are never forgotten.
This was a difficult period in American history.

It is hoped that this monument will be a reminder that those who served in the military during this time (and after) are no different than those who came before them.
DESERVE OUR RESPECT
