Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A panoramic view from the overlook of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Highland Park in Rochester, New York, as seen on a May 2022 afternoon. Dedicated in 1996, the memorial is comprised principally of a concrete plaza where seven flagpoles - the American flag, those of the five branches of the U.S. armed forces, and the official POW/MIA flag - cluster around a sculpture of the globe carved in relief into the ground, highlighting the physical distance and lack of obvious connection between the U.S. and Vietnam, from which leads a "Walk of Honor" where 280 bollards bear the names, military insignia, and dates of birth and death of local Vietnam War casualties. Peppered around the sprawling grounds of the memorial are a number of other sculptures and gardens each paying respect to a different aspect of the phenomenon of military service and death in war. |
