The Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall was dedicated on Veterans Day in 1982, fulfilling one veteran’s promise to never forget those who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
Keeping watch over the wall are three figures in a statue honoring those who fought and returned from the war. The Three Servicemen Statue was unveiled on Veterans Day in 1984, two years after the wall was dedicated. The servicemen depicted in the sculpture stand 7 feet tall upon a base that is a foot tall. Artist Frederick Hart used patina to give the bronze statue some color variation.
