[ inscription on the north side, between the granite slabs ]

During

the 16 years

the war continued

American Soldiers

Sailors, Airmen and Marines

fought with heroism and

determination under some of the

most difficult circumstances ever

encountered by American armed forces.

Tragically, upon their return home

they received virtually no recognition for

their service and sacrifice because of the raging

controversy over United States policy in conducting

the war.

300,000 were wounded in action

75,000 were permanently disabled

58,118 were killed in combat

Later, thousands more would die as a result

of gunshot wounds and the dioxin code named "agent orange"

As of this date, November 11th, 1985, ten years after the fall of the Saigon

government and twelve years after the removal of American ground forces from

Vietnam, 2,489 brave Americans remain missing in action or held prisoners of war.

They Are Not Forgotten
