Inscription.
Vietnam War
“... Ours in truth was a noble cause”
1955–1975
8,744,000 Served • 58,209 Killed • 153,303 Wounded • 1,845 Missing
In Memory of All Vietnam War Veterans
In honor of the young Americans that went to war on a distant shore, with youthful years soon no more, all gave some and returned with memories that one should not have to bear. Some gave all and left only their memories for others to share. They fought for the cause of freedom taken for granted by us all. They asked for nothing in return, always answering the call.

In 1985, while reflecting on his term in office during the Vietnam War, President Richard M. Nixon stated, 'No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.'

In honor of the men and women never welcomed home, this plaque is placed on this wall. With the greatest respect, we now offer our thanks to you all.
