TARRANT COUNTY VIETNAM MEMORIAL FOUNDATION

The Vietnam Conflict was an ugly and harsh time that took a toll on our men like no other war. It was the place where we truly learned what jungle warfare was all about. For the first time in our nations’ history our heroes came back to a divided and mostly ungrateful nation. Many still have not been properly welcomed home. Others gave the ultimate sacrifice.
At least 221 Tarrant County residents died as a result of the conflict in Vietnam. Currently, there’s no local monument to honor those that lost their lives in Southeast Asia. The Tarrant County Vietnam Memorial Foundation was established to have a monument established in their honor. 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.
