PHASE ONE IS UNDERWAY!! Click HERE for information on the Dedication Ceremony set for Saturday June 13th at 11am

Thanks to the support of the city of Jacksonville, Onslow County, veterans & the community, Phase One of the Memorial is well underway.  Phase One will include the clearing & grading of the site; all the foundation work for the walls, fountain & gazebo columns; the glass wall panels (with all 58,200+ names); concrete walkways; parking area; and basic landscaping.  In future phases (as funds allow) we will complete the operating fountain; add the gazebo canopy; overlay the concrete walkways with granite pavers; add lighting & flagpoles, construct a welcome center; and add additional walks & landscaping.     You can follow along with the progress by clicking on the pictures in our MySpace album. Just click HERE.     To see a slide show of the completed project click HERE.     Our fundraising efforts continue.  As hundreds of Vietnam era vets are dying each day, it is crucial that this memorial be completed as soon as possible. While it will stand forever as a tribute to these heroes, we want as many of the Vietnam Vets as possible to have the opportunity to visit and see that they are not forgotten.  For information on how you can help, return to our Home page or click HERE for sponsorship opportunities.

Mr John Sinnet of Smith-Sinnet Architecture in Raleigh has done a spectacular job of not only designing the memorial, but helping us in every facet of the process. Without his tireless efforts & generosity this project would not exist.

Pro Construction, Inc. of Jacksonville is the General Contractor for Phase One and were willing to work with the foundation in order to make this project happen.

Directly across from the NC Veterans Cemetery, the Vietnam Memorial, along with the Beirut Memorial, the 9-11 tribute, the future Museum of the Marine and other future sites comprise an area now known as the Lejeune Memorial Gardens. It is sure to become a major destination for all those who wish to reflect on and pay homage to the courage of our military men & women & the sacrifices they have made and continue to make.
