New Memorial to be built at Gardner Park
As we continue to honor the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our nation, the City of Springboro is proud to announce the development of the Vietnam Veterans Remembrance Memorial at Gardner Park, 181 Village Park Blvd. This memorial will stand as a testament to the bravery, service, and sacrifice of our Vietnam veterans, ensuring that their legacy endures for future generations.
This endeavor aims not only to commemorate the valiant efforts of our veterans but also to educate the community about the significance of the Vietnam War as well as tell the story of the plight and sacrifice of the citizens of Vietnam from their perspective. The memorial will offer a place for reflection, remembrance, and education, fostering a deeper appreciation and respect for our veterans.
The memorial will list the approximately 3,000 names of Ohio soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the war and the names of the Vietnamese citizens who perished in the re-education camps.
