New Jersey Vietnam War Memorial, PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ, USA - Vietnam War Memorials on Waymarking.com

This memorial is a sobering reminder of those who died during the Vietnam Conflict. On most of the Memorials 366 panels are the names of 1,566 New Jersey soldiers who died while in Vietnam.

The memorial was designed by Hien Nguyen, a Vietnam native. He fled in 1975, days before Saigon fell to communist forces from the North. His design for the open-air memorial was selected from among 425 submitted for consideration. Nguyen created the memorial for the soldiers who gave their lives for his homeland. Today Nguyen is a naturalized citizen and makes his home in Old Bridge, NJ.

On the grounds in the center of the Memorial are the names of the men who died, after the war, but, because of the war.

In the center of the Memorial there is also a statue created by sculptor, Thomas J Warren. The bronze statues represent the soldiers who were wounded or killed in Southeast Asia, the women who served, and all those who eventually came home.

After a visit to the Memorial, you should visit the Vietnam Era Educational Center. Inside you will find the history of Vietnam and the events that led to the Vietnam War.
