Trumbull County Vietnam Veterans Memorial. "Motto". The dreams of peace that for America have grown comfortable with Luzon, Iwo Jima, and the Belleru Woods, now draw back to the sounds of Chu Lai, Van Tong, and Khe Sanh, set these dreams that created America, created our plight dropped into an historic void of a nation's guilt we come forth; not as mercenaries for our pay but as sons to our inherent rights not demanding sympathy, but desiring empathy so that the dreams of our fathers shall not pass this generation by… and lay waste to the memories of our still great nation, nor to the memories of those who's dreams were forced by chance and circumstance to lie for all eternity face-down in paddy mud.
