Vietnam War MemorialsThe Vietnam War caused rifts and acrimony over its mission and purpose both for the American people and the Vietnamese. Many people wished to forget such a humiliating mission in the face of American history. . However, in 1985, a monument was erected in commemoration of this war that Americans hesitated to be involved in. The main purpose of this monument was generally to highlight the consequences of war and specifically highlight a futile war that led to great losses and sunk many hearts.
The Vietnam Veteran plaza is a Memorial located in Manhattan which was dedicated to the honor of 250,000 men and women from New York who served in America's armed forces and especially those close to 2000 who died in the Vietnam War...The commission set up for the sake of the memorial raised money to finance the memorial and offer employment and counseling to the veterans. This led to the setting aside of Jeannette Park as the future site for the memorial before it was renamed.
