The Vietnam Conflict was a challenging time in American history. It took a heavy toll on the collective psyche. For the first time in our Nations’ history, service members came back to a divided and often ungrateful country. Some who served then have yet to be welcomed home, while others made the ultimate sacrifice.
At least 221 Tarrant County residents died as a result of the conflict in Vietnam. Currently, there is no local monument to honor those killed in Southeast Asia.
The Tarrant County Vietnam Memorial Foundation was formed to have a monument established in their honor.
This memorial will list -by name- those brave men and women from Tarrant County who gave their lives.
Furthermore, We would like to include as many people as we can find that have Succumbed to maladies such as Agent Orange that have called Tarrant County their home.
It will take a community effort to finally recognize the sacrifice that was made by these brave individuals with a permanent display in Fort Worth’s Veterans Memorial Park on Camp Bowie Blvd
