Remembering...
They came from the diverse neighborhoods in this "city of neighborhoods" -- Fishtown, North Philly, Mayfair, Roxborough, Olney, Fairmount, South Philly, Kensington, Germantown -- where they had started their lives, careers and families. Among them were 54 alumni of Thomas Edison School, which sustained the largest number of Vietnam war casualties of any high school in the nation; 27 alumni of Father Judge High School; and eight former students of St. Leo's Elementary School in Tacony.

We can but imagine what their lives would have been like had they returned home; but we do know that our city is poorer for their early passing. Their average age: 22 years, nine months.

The motto "It is our duty to remember" became our pledge when the Memorial was dedicated in 1987. We have kept that pledge, and we will always remember our neighbors, friends, and brothers who gave their last true measure of devotion.
