1. National Gratitude Marker
Hundreds of thousands of military personnel, civilians, government cadres and officials died on battlefields or in Communist prisons. Hundreds more chose to kill themselves rather than surrender.
On this Memorial Wall are portraits of seven Vietnamese heroes who took their own lives or were executed by the Communists. These noble deaths epitomize the patriotism and the indomitable spirit of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Vietnam.
This Memorial Wall bears witness to the fall of South Viet Nam, April 30, 1975.
History Park, City of San Jose - April 2014.
