Oregon Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Vietnam War memorial in Washington Park, Portland, United States.
The Oregon Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a monument in Washington Park, Portland, featuring a curved black granite wall. The wall displays names of Oregon residents who died or went missing during the Vietnam War.
The memorial was completed in 1987 after Oregon veterans visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. This experience inspired them to create a similar monument in their home state.
The memorial connects stories of Oregon residents to the larger conflict, showing how the war touched lives in this region. Visitors can see how local and national history are told side by side.
The grounds are accessible daily and offer space for visitors with different mobility needs. Multiple paths allow for easy exploration and places to rest, making it simple to visit at your own pace.
The site contains a garden with pear trees and water features that create quiet areas for reflection. The Garden of Solace offers a special space within the grounds where visitors can pause and think.
