Dedicated to all Vietnam Era veterans on May 28, 1979, this memorial includes the poem “A Man At Eighteen,” which portrays an eighteen-year-old youth enduring four months of hardship, earning the Marine Corps Blues, learning to fight and kill against his will, and going to war without complaint, while his mother prays for his safety and then learns that her son is dead. It also honors Gerald Brian Dorr, shot down over North Vietnam, and lists Hubert B Loheed, Wayne M Caron, Gerald B Dorr, Douglas R Mohrmann, William J Morrison, Robert F Townes Jr, Fred Z Washburn, Zane A Carter, William M Smith, William F Hitchcock, David L Bellerive, Richard Olson, Vincent Falconeiri, Larry L Stoper, and Roger P Kay, with Quang Nam, Quang Tin, Quang Ngai, Kontum, Tay Ninh, and Binh Duong named among the places associated with them.
