¶ The Oregon Vietnam Veterans Living Memorial is dedicated to the memory of the sacrifices made by the 57,000 Oregonians who served and the 803 who died fulfilling their duty to their country.

Each year over 25,000 people visit the memorial. They come to pay their respects, honor the dead and try to reconcile their feelings over one of the most controversial and devisive chapters in American history.
