Southeastern Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Southeastern Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Three Wausau red granite columns stand 22, 26 and 30 feet high and represent those Killed in Action, P.O.W./ M.I.A.(s), and those who returned home. The five granite benches behind the columns symbolize the five branches of the military (US Army, US Marine Corps, US Air Force, US Navy and the US Coast Guard). The eleven granite posts encircling the memorial signify each (officially recognized) year of the Vietnam War. The inner circle of bricks is reserved for those who served in the Vietnam War. The outer circle is for veterans of other wars and conflicts or for anyone who wishes to show their respect and support.
