The Texas Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Fair Park pays honor to those Texans who served the United States in the Vietnam War. Dedicated by former President George H. W. Bush in 1989, the Memorial features five tablets of Texas granite bearing the names of 3,271 Texans killed in action during the war in Vietnam, and 156 missing in action. A soothing waterfall flows alongside the memorial, which is familiarly known simply as, "The Wall.” On this #VeteransDay, we thank them and all the veterans who have served our country! 🙏 🇺🇸
