UTC-08:00

Location

Oregon State Capitol | Salem, OR

The Oregon Capitol will host the highly anticipated dedication ceremony for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Friday November 22 at 2:00 p.m. This momentous event will be the formal dedication of Phase 1 of the memorial which honors the service and sacrifice of Oregon’s Vietnam veterans. The ceremony will take place at Salem’s Willson Park memorial site on the Capitol grounds at the corner of State and Cottage Street with a reception to follow at the Withnell Family YMCA. 


The memorial pays tribute to 790 Oregonians who lost their lives in the Vietnam War along with the more than 180000 who served in Vietnam and around the world from 1955-1975. The design features 46 black granite columns engraved with the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It creates a reflective space for veterans families and the public to honor their memory. 


The event will include comments from local veterans state officials and members of the Vietnam War Memorial Fund which has been instrumental in making this project a reality. The community is invited to join this significant dedication of this lasting tribute to Oregon’s Vietnam veterans.
