kentucky vietnam veterans memorial印象

As the title suggests the site is a Vietnam Veterans Memorial. To my knowledge, it is unique and not another one like it in the country. It is an engineering marvel and must be seen to appreciate. The access is easy but since it is outside, I would recommend that you visit it in warm weather.

Great memorial. Easy to access. It is outside so dress warm or go in warm weather. A large sundial that crosses veterans names.

The photos that I saw of this memorial did not prepare me for the experience. The worker at the Military History Museum told us that we had to actually walk up on the memorial to see the significance; I'm glad he told us because it's a very meaningful tribute up close. The sundial does not look like much from the perspective of the historical markers on lower ground, but walking up on the memorial and seeing the way the shadow of the sundial falls on the names provides a moving moment. The area around the memorial is quiet and peaceful, and a nice view of the state capitol is across the road. We were glad that we made time to stop.

I still struggle to put words together for this memorial.... They have it set on a sun dial and each person's name listed on the memorial is in a place that the dial will 'point' to at the time of death.... I visited with my father who is a Vietnam vet

We were steered to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, by the Kentucky governors/capital grounds gardener whom we met at the Governors garden. It is a sobering reminder of those who gave their all. It was a worthwhile side trip, the sun dial is amazing.

a short drive from downtown. Tranquil and beautiful. Enormous sundial. The sun shines on all stones with veterans names on them, throughout the day. BEAUTIFUL

This was a brief stop for our group caravanning from Louisville to Lexington. The Memorial combines astronomy, art, architecture and history to memorialize Kentuckians who died or were missing in action while serving during the Vietnam war. It was fascinating and moving and has a great view across to the state Capitol building. Avoid the grassy field. One of our party was eaten alive by chiggers.

If you are interested in history, this is worth a stop. They even had paper where you can make rubbings.

This is a great tribute to those who gave everything for our freedom. I will make it a point to visit the memorial each and every time I visit Frankfort out of respect for those it honors. Anyone traveling to Frankfort needs to visit this memorial.

If your in the area, it's neat to see. Doesn't take long. The engineering and the thought behind the design makes it even more incredible. A great tribute to those who served and lost their lives.
