Please come to Layton, Utah. We have the privilege of bringing the Vietnam Memorial Wall Replica to the area. It is an 80% exact replica of the original. We also have a War Dog memorial for the over 4,000 war dogs left in Vietnam at the end of the war. Also have 8 benches dedicated to the 8 women on the Vietnam Wall. Brought by Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1079 , Northern Utah.
My father in law, Vincent Hughes, served 20 years in the USAF (SMSGT). His last assignment was at Tan Son Nhut Air Base in Saigon during the ‘68 Tet offensive. He returned and lived a good long life but struggled with complications of Agent Orange in his latter years. He would have appreciated this tribute.
Nicely done. Was in Mighty 9th ‘69. Nice to see you got SC. Semper Fidelis.

Thank you, Jimee, for all the beautiful tributes to our Vietnam Veterans. A wonderful recognition of all those who served during the War and did not receive this recognition during their service.
A wonderful tribute also to Mickey (Maria).
Beautiful photographs, emotional tributes. Enjoyed immensely. Viketnam Memorial in the works in Warner Robins, GA; will send updates as available. Retired Seabee
Beautiful memorials, very moving. I urge you to see the Vietnam War Sundial in Frankfort, KY
A 14-foot high steel sundial stands at the center of a granite plaza. Its gnomon casts a shadow on the chiseled name of each Vietnam war veteran 1,103 of them on the anniversary of when they were killed.
Outstanding work on the pictures and thank you for keeping our brothers/sister Marines alive through pictures. I am sure the memories are not pleasant but the people and stories must never be forgotten!
Thank you so much for sharing. Gives a reality check of what took place in Vietnam. My father was in this war, and it gives me a new appreciation for what he experienced, and achieved. He came back.
Very moving. I was not aware there were so many. Reminded me of a neighbor boy that went. Thank you for sharing this.
Was with 1st Signal Bde Long Binh 1969-1971 at USARV.
Nice start, wonderful idea. Mostly East Coast so far, hope you get to midwest and west too. I'm partial to the State of California one in Sacramento. I think only the Wall is better.
Such a fitting tribute on the 50th anniversary of the end of the war. This tribute shows the impact and remembrance seen all across the country. Thank you Jim.
