Fresh Pain at Plaza Downtown; Refurbished Vietnam Memorial Is Dedicated, 11/9/01
By GLENN COLLINS
Speakers at the dedication yesterday of a $7 million plaza memorializing New York City's fallen Vietnam warriors kept looking ahead to Veterans Day while looking back on the city's centuries-old relationship with martial tradition.
They had come to dedicate 12 new granite pylons bearing the alphabetically arranged names of 1,741 New Yorkers who died during the Vietnam War, from Rosario R. Abbate to Andrew G. Zissu.
On May 4, 1985, Mayor Edward I. Koch dedicated this plaza in honor of the 250,000 men and women of New York City who served in the United States armed forces from 1964 to 1975, especially those 1,741 who died fighting the Vietnam War.
On November 9, 2001 Mayor Giuliani rededicated the extensively redesigned plaza. These 1,741 New Yorkers who had died in the war are listed on a polished granite wall alphabetically from Rosario R. Abbate to Andrew G. Zissu. Their accompanying ages attest that most of the dead were in their teens or 20’s. Filling a dozen granite plinths, each four and a half feet high, these names form a solemn path, a Walk of Honor.
A detailed map of major locations and battles in Vietnam and a water display flowing over a disk of polished granite.
