DEDICATED ON OCTOBER 20, 1991, THIS MOVING MEMORIAL HAS BECOME THE FOCAL POINT OF VETERANS PARK AT MILWAUKEE’S LAKEFRONT.
Dedicated on October 20, 1991, this memorial has become the focal point of Veterans Park. Three Wausau Red Granite columns stand 22, 26 and 30 feet high and represent those killed in action, prisoners of war/missing in action, and those returned home.
The five granite benches behind the columns symbolize the five branches of the military. The eleven granite posts encircling the memorial signify each officially recognized year of the Vietnam War. The inner circle of bricks is reserved for those who served in the Vietnam War. The outer circle is for veterans of other wars and conflicts or for anyone who wishes to show their respect and support.
Plans are underway during 2025 to raise funds to restore and enhance the Vietnam Memorial. Brick orders received and not yet installed will be held until restoration is complete. We are not accepting new orders for commemorative bricks at this time. We will provide more information as it becomes available. Please check back.
