This is the Vietnam Memorial located at the "Sloppy" Floyd Building. I love that there is a woman soldier as part of the memorial- not something I expect to see when thinking of the Vietnam war. It was dedicated on Veteran's Day (Nov 11) in 1988.The inscription written on the base says:
THIS MEMORIAL IS DEDICATED TO THOSE GEORGIANS
WHO FOUGHT, DIED AND ARE STILL MISSING IN ACTION
IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. THEY ANSWERED THEIR COUNTRY'S
CALL TO DUTY WITH COURAGE AND SACRIFICE AND THEY
SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
