Description
An account of the resource
The New York City memorial to the Vietnam War and its veterans is located in what was once known as Jeanette Park (named for the flagship of failed Arctic Expedition in the late 1800s). The Plaza was renamed in 1982 and the Memorial placed here. The centerpiece of the plaza is a large wall of glass blocks onto which are inscribed poems, letters and diary entries written by the veterans themselves; at the base of the wall is a granite shelf. This part of the plaza was designed by Peter Wormser and Williams Fellows (architects) and writer/veteran Joseph Ferrandino. In 2001 extensive renovations enhanced the plaza with a new entrance and landscaping as well as more information. The plaza includes a walkway of granite pylons with bronze plaques containing the inscribed the names of all 1, 741 U.S. military personnel from New York City who are listed as killed in action, missing in action or prisoners of war from the conflict in Vietnam from 1957-1975. There is also a large flat steel map of Vietnam that includes sites of battles. The memorial plaza was dedicated on May 4, 1985 and then again on November 9, 2001 when it was redesigned.
