Nice place to visit and enjoy the displays. We stopped to see the Helicopter and wall. Could spend 30 minutes there or longer.
I thought this was so pretty and very interesting how this wasset up and how awesome it was to see these peoples pictures and how they are honored for fighting for our freedom our country and most of all our flag.
As a Vietnam Vet I feel healed and rested and some times shed a few tears. It's a good quite peaceful place to remember and reflect upon years gone by. When I'm having a bad day a visit to this memorial helps me. I hope it helps you as well.
It is a plain and simple memorial to deceased veterans of wars who were Mississippi residents. The construction lends itself to meditation when the site is visited, to see the picture and name of the individual honored.
I was so moved by this memorial, seeing the face of these young so very young men who gave the ultimate to keep us free really moved me. I am a Vietnam Era Vetwho by the grace of God did not have to go to Vietnam. God Bless these Brave men !
this is some place you should visit not matter if you are from the USA or not. The pictures on the walls of those youngsters who were killed is moving and should be a reminder to all of the waste of war. It's impossible to see without tears.
I don't usually review sites like this, but, for me, this memorial was, in some ways, even more moving than the Vietnam Memorial in D.C. My wife and I stopped by on our trip to see family for Christmas in Georgia not really knowing what to expect. I am not of the Vietnam Era (I was born in 1970), but I am a history buff and was really touched by the photos displayed of all the young men who gave their lives during this war. As I looked at the countless pictures of them I imagined how heartbreaking it must have been for their families to receive the news of their deaths and I have to admit I got a bit emotional. A very well thought out place for remembrance.
This war memorial by far exceeds most in towns. It was a pleasant surprise to see etched pictures on the walls along with names. Very touching gesture that I have only seen on a war monument in Ocean Springs
My hope is that all who visit, not just folk like me from this Vietnam era generation, will truly stop, reflect and appreciate the service and sacrifice these young Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors made to fight for freedom.We all owe these warrior hero's an un-payable debt of gratitude. Let us also remember the shame we all carry for not welcoming the surviving veterans home years ago as we all should have. While there, it is a fitting time to offer a prayer of forgiveness from them, for ignoring their ultimate sacrifice.
The displays were well lite and informative. The staff was very friendly. The tour was interactive. I disliked NOTHING about the visit except I did not have the time I needed to stay.
