"Three bronze soldiers dressed in different uniforms from the Vietnam War. The figures are arranged on a circular bronze plinth. A standing soldier in the back center of the plinth wears a helmet and holds a gun in both hands. He looks over his proper right shoulder. To his proper right is a soldier kneeling on one knee, wearing a combat helmet, and holding a rifle. Another soldier kneels to his proper left, wearing no hat and holding a rifle. The figures are positioned on a roughly circular bronze plinth on a granite base." - Smithsonian Art Inventory
