permian basin vietnam veterans memorial

Quiet place to pay respect and honor those that served and gave it all to this country. Simple but respectful.

Located next to the Midland International Airport and close the the Commemorative Air Force building, this simple monument to the men and women from the Permian Basin who served during Vietnam lists all of the known Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who died during this conflict. Their names and where they were from are listed on the wall. Other than this solid memory of our fallen, the area is small but well-maintained. Plan on at least 10 minutes but not much more.

Very impressive bronze display. All of the marble work is well done. The eternal flame is a nice touch. Very well maintained.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial out near the airport is beautifully done. There is an actual Huey helicopter that appears to be flying. The bronze of the soldiers is beautiful. The actual wall displays the names of those soldiers from the Permian Basin who gave their lives in the service of their country in Vietnam. The ceremony on Memorial Day at the memorial is especially moving.

Very well done memorial just down the street from the Commenorative Air Museum. Just takes a few minutes to see. Also children's playground ajoining it.
