Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument, War memorial at Texas State Capitol grounds in Austin, United States.
The Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument is a memorial on the Texas State Capitol grounds featuring five bronze figures positioned on a red granite base. The statues depict infantry soldiers in active poses, each representing different ethnic backgrounds.
The memorial was dedicated in 2014 to honor Texans who died during the Vietnam War between 1964 and 1973. It stands as official recognition of sacrifice by service members from this state.
The five bronze figures represent soldiers from different ethnic communities of Texas who served together. Their placement side by side shows how people from various backgrounds shared the experience of military service.
