Went here on 29 March 2024 to pay my respects to the Vietnam veterans🙏⭐️.Beautiful and quiet location. I really enjoyed reading the "inscriptions" and letters from the soldiers about their experiences.I am not sure if it was intentional or not, but I think the placement of this Vietnam Veterans Memorial site is absolutely perfect as it is situated across from Pier 6 where helicopters frequently land and take off for tours. It feels very appropriate and well-suited for war memorials from Korea, Vietnam, and onwards as helicopters are so essential for search and rescue operations, transportation of wounded soldiers, deployment of small teams and specialized units, and supply drops.I was the only one there when I visited just before 1900h. My mission for March 29th was to visit whatever Vietnam memorials I could find in NYC. I found this one and one in Queens. I visited both. I'm sure I will discover more as I find my way around New York, mostly by walking so I don't miss all the tributes, memorials, and other "hidden gems" there are that are perhaps not as well known or on any online maps. 🫶#Honor #Respect #Remember #Veterans and others who have sacrificed so much for freedom and democracy—truly for all the peoples of this world. Thank you. 💪❤️🌟
