Greater Rochester Vietnam Veterans Memorial
The Greater Rochester Vietnam Veterans Memorial,
which has found its home in Highland Park South, has
been a place of great pride since its dedication on
September 8, 1996. Through the years, the memorial has
matured and developed into a unique place of tranquility
and honor. The numbers of lives that have been touched
by this memorial go far beyond those who were intended
in the original mission. This memorial is truly a living
memorial which grows more with every experience and
emotion left behind by all who have visited the site.
The memorial commemorates the service, valor, and
sacrifice of Vietnam Veterans and Vietnam Era Veterans
as well as all members of the Greater Rochester
community who were touched by the effects of the war.
The memorial also provides all Americans the opportunity
for learning, remembering, and peaceful reflection. It
aims to educate future generations about the war and
effects leading up to it. It also serves as an oasis
where people from the Greater Rochester area come to
reflect about acts of valor by fellow soldiers, a loved
one who suffered or died as a result of the war, and to
publicly welcome home those who served.
This site is a work in progress. Some areas of the
site are complete at this time, others will be completed
as soon as possible
