Vietnam Veterans Memorial, War memorial at Chicago Riverwalk, United States.
The rectangular fountain basin features a stone wall inscribed with the names of 2,936 Illinois soldiers who died during the Vietnam War.
The current memorial, dedicated in 2005, replaced the original Vietnam Memorial from 1982, incorporating stones from the former structure into its plaza.
The memorial sculpture, created by Vietnam veteran Gary Tillery, stands as a testament to the service members who fought in the conflict.
The memorial undergoes regular inspections and cleanings to maintain the legibility of inscriptions and preserve the structure for future generations.
Each March 29, the City of Chicago holds a ceremony at the memorial to commemorate National Vietnam Veterans Day with veterans and public attendance.
