"The focal point of a beautiful park, the Three
Soldiers Monument in Apalachicola, Florida,
pays honor to the Southern solders who
served in Vietnam.
The monument was cast from the original
molds of sculptor Frederick Hart's stunning
Three Soldiers statue that stands at the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington,
D.C. It was funded by the Frederick Hart
estate and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Fund and was cast in 2008.
An informational stone at the monument
describes its purpose well:
"Dedicated this 12th day of July, 2008 in
memory of those persons from the South who
valiantly served their country during the
Vietnam War (1959 - 1975). Their
commitment to their country, to freedom and
to each other will long be honored by this
memorial which represents, for all time, the
human face of those who served.""
