The Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial:
In the late spring of 1984, a small group of Vietnam veterans in Philadelphia decided to begin a local campaign to build their own Memorial.

The group selected four veterans to serve as directors of the campaign - and on July 10,1984, Mayor W. Wilson Goode signed Philadelphia City Council's City Ordinance Bill 202, authorizing the establishment of the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. This memorial would honor a total of 646 Philadelphians who lost their lives in one of the most protracted conflicts in American history.
