1. The Missouri Vietnam Veterans Memorial
The Wall is divided as the country was divided, yet stood in the divide forged ahead, doing what their country asked of them.
The "V" symbolizes the valor stall who served whereas the red flowers symbolize the blood shed by those whose names are on the walls, for they made the ultimate sacrifice.
May the sacrifice of all who served and all who died never be forgotten.
The Missouri Vietnam Veterans memorial is dedicated to perpetuating the appreciation legacy of Vietnam War Veterans past and present.
