Mission of the Vietnam Unit Memorial Monument Fund
*To establish a monument that brings honor and remembrance to those U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard sailors who gave their lives at sea, in the air, on coastal and inland waters, and ashore during the Vietnam War (1960-1975).
*To respectfully maintain the hallowed monument and grounds for thoughtful reflection on the sacrifices made by our military men and women during all wars, past and future, while protecting the freedoms we enjoy.
*To serve as a bridge between sailors of the Vietnam War era and those on current active duty, such that the courage, dedication, and the sacrifices made by all are honorably and perpetually linked by the spirit of naval service.
The Vietnam Unit Memorial concept provides for the placement of the names of all U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard personnel who died in the Vietnam theatre of operations from 1960 to 1975. This includes those who died from hostile and non-hostile actions on the ground, in the air and at sea. Names appear on the Memorial wall along with rank/rate, home town, date of death and unit to which assigned at the time of death.
Navy Medal of Honor and Navy Cross recipients are included on the wall.
