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.

The work is extremely detailed.
A map of Vietnam and the cities is on the walkway.
