1. About the marker
While this marker serves as a dedication plaque, because it shares Alvarado Tull's distinct role in military service in Vietnam as a combat photographer, it also serves as a historical marker and memorial. Usually veterans memorials for an individual need to share how the individual stood out, particularly when Killed/Wounded/Missing in Action.
