The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. serves as a tribute to honor the brave members of the U.S. Armed Forces who fought in the Vietnam War and were killed or missing in action.
It is now possible for individuals to pay their respects with a visit to a replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Utah. The replica is 80 percent of the original size of the monument in our nation’s capital and is the only one of its size west of the Mississippi, according to the Utah Vietnam Veterans of America.
The Wall displays the names of the more than 58,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country during the Vietnam War, including 361 Utahns who gave their lives.
