Help Stop the Desecration and Dishonor to the 646 Heroes
We need the help of every patriotic and concerned citizen in the Greater Philadelphia Region to preserve and protect the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It is the sad truth that vandals continue their despicable acts in the secluded Memorial at Front and Spruce streets. Recently our caretaker, James Moran, discovered lewd and obscene posters pasted to the wall of 646 names commemorating those who lost their lives in Vietnam. It will only stop when we can open up the Spruce Street side of the Memorial to make it harder to use the protection of the enclosed amphitheater of the Memorial to hide their despicable acts, as well as making it easier for the police observe.

At the same time, more than 20 years of wear and weather have taken their toll and we've already started to repair and reconstruct parts of the Memorial, as well as create a special area to honor POW/MIAs and wounded veterans.

It was the grass roots support of veterans, their families and friends who raised the majority of the funding to build the Memorial in 1987. Won't you please help by contributing $25, $100 or whatever you can provide. Even more helpful would be to get your friends and family to do the same. Visit the link below to see how and read more on this site to see what we're trying to accomplish. Thank you and God bless America and our veterans.
