A rectangular copper plaque with an American eagle with spread wings above lists the names of those killed during the Vietnam War. This monument was placed sometime during the 1970’s. During Memorial Day ceremonies in May 2011 the name of a US Navy Seal killed in Afghanistan was added to this monument because there was the space to do so.
