THE PHILADELPHIA VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL WAS
DESIGNED TO HONOR THOSE WHO SERVED IN ALL BRANCHES
OF THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES DURING THE
VIETNAM WAR. THE MEMORIAL PAYS TRIBUTE TO ALL THE
80,000 PHILADELPHIA VIETNAM VIETNAM ERA VETERANS WHO
SERVED OUR COUNTRY IN OUR NATION'S LONGEST WAR.
BY HONORING THESE AMERICANS, THE PHILADELPHIA
VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL SEPARATES THE WARRIOR
FROM THE WAR, FOCUSES ON THE VALOR AND SACRIFICE
OF THESE PATRIOTS AND GIVES EACH OF THEM A PLACE IN HISTORY.
