Phoenix - Vietnam War Memorial

The Vietnam War Memorial sits to the South of Wesley Bolin plaza.
 Black slabs with the names of those lost in the war surround a center platform. The platform gives significant events throughout the War.
 The dedication plaque.
 The statue, while it depicts a sad event, is beautifully done.
 The statue was done by Jasper D'Ambrosi in 1985 and cast by Arizona Bronze.  I was thrilled to learn that we have casting facilities in the state and will need to make time to visit their works.
 Close-up of a soldier.
 The work is extremely detailed.


 A map of Vietnam and the cities is on the walkway.
