Vietnam Veterans Memorial
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in San Antonio, Texas, was dedicated on November 9, 1986, during a ceremony that featured an Air Force F-16 flyover and a display of Army Huey Gunships. This memorial honors veterans and those who did not return from combat, with its centerpiece being a striking bronze sculpture that depicts a Marine Corps radio operator assisting a fallen comrade during the Khe Sanh hill fights in 1967.
The memorial stands as a significant tribute to the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans, and it is noted for being the only memorial in the country that illustrates an actual battle scene. Through events like the annual Operation Beacon Star and the 30th Anniversary Ceremony, the memorial continues to foster remembrance and honor for those who served.
