A 30' diameter circular fountain consists of a series of fabricated rocks walls the highest of which is approximately 15' high. Water is pumped to the tallest tower and cascades down the other towers until it reachs the 30' large ground level basin. The surrounding area is landscaped with a dramatic placment of large boulder-size rocks. To add to the dramatic effect the the water is tinted a turquoise blue.

A bronze plaque attached to a rectangular granite tablet placed in front of the fountain contains the dedication:

DURING THE VIETNAM ERA 1964
TO MAY 1975. PARTICULARLY THOSE
