The Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial is designed
to honor those who served in all branches of the United States Armed
Forces during the Vietnam War. The memorial pays tribute to the 80,000
Philadelphia Vietnam Era Veterans who served our country in our nation's
longest war.
By honoring these veterans the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial
separates the warrior from the war, focuses on the valor and sacrifice
of those patriots, and gives each of them a place in history.
It is our duty to remember the gallant Americans whose names grace this
wall. They sacrificed their lives in the service of our country during
the Vietnam War 1964-1975.
For those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will
never know.
