PLEASE NOTE - REQUIREMENTS HAVE CHANGED AS OF 2-26-05. SEE NOTE BELOW, THANK YOU. --Dedicated and unveiled April 27, 2003, it was quite interesting for me to watch this monument actually come to life, from dirt to finish. PLEASE, NO ANSWERS IN YOUR PUBLIC POSTS. Thank you! (Note the name change of the street to All American Way!
To get credit for this find, please email me with answers to the following THREE questions.

1. The eternal flame which was originally meant to burn around the clock has been snuffed out by rain, filled with water occasionally, and now it looks more like an urn. In place of this question, please list the government building directly across the street from the memorial.

2. On the actual bronze monument, what is the date of the copyright?

3. What three words are found on the first line of the large plaque directly in front of the statues?

#6,000 I have know about this memorial for many years. I only recently noticed that it was a virtual cache. With that in mind I decided to make this find our #6,000th find in memory of a good family friend who lost his life in Vietnam. The early morning rains made for a very nice day and the air was cool with a nice breeze. I walked up to the memorial @ 12:15pm. I took a few photo's and sat and reflected on what once was and what might have been if I've been to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C.and that is a very moving experience. Having this so close to home is good for us never to forget those who fought so bravely and never returned. TFTV

I grew up in Garden Grove, a neighboring city, during much of the Vietnam war. A neighborhood boy died in Vietnam, and I especially remembered him during this visit. I am also logging a geocoin in remembrance of the fallen that originated in Iraq.

Required email sent. Thanks for bringing me to this wonderful memorial. I took a couple of photos with my cell phone but they stink compared to some which have already been posted. TFTC.
