The Mississippi Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Ocean Springs, MS is a beautiful and meaningful tribute to the brave men and women who served in the Vietnam War. This memorial, which began construction in 1999, showcases the dedication and volunteer efforts of individuals, businesses, and civic organizations in its creation. It not only highlights the physical beauty of the memorial but also provides a platform for visitors to view biographical information of fallen Vietnam War soldiers and share their own memories and comments in the Memorial Register Guestbook.

In addition to honoring Vietnam War veterans, the Mississippi Vietnam Veterans Memorial also pays tribute to the USS TULLIBEE SS-284 submarine, which was sunk during World War II. The monument, which stands at 14 feet long and 4 feet high, features engravings of the TULLIBEE's last run, a list of its crew, and other submarines lost in WWII. It also includes special recognition for the 41 for Freedom Boomers, submarines built in Mississippi, and quotes from famous people regarding submarines and submariners. The memorial is a collaborative effort between the TULLIBEE Base, USSVI, and Magnolia Rebel W. J. Cheek Chapter, Submarine Veterans of World War II.
