Vietnam Unit Memorial Monument
The Vietnam Unit Memorial Monument at the Naval
Amphibious Base, Coronado, CA honors all Navy and Coast Guard personnel who
died in the Vietnam theater of operations during the period 1960-1975. The
Memorial Wall pays tribute to 2,564 sailors who died from any cause: KIA/MIA or
accidental.
The Gamewardens of Vietnam, the Mobile Riverine Force
Association and the Swift Boat Sailors Association support the Memorial by
sponsoring a PBR, a CCB and a PCF (Swift Boat) on display at the
site.
The Memorial presents the names, rank/rate, home
town, the unit to which they were attached and the date of death.
The Memorial was formally dedicated on 21 May
2005.
Continued support from veterans, families and other
interested persons have enabled significant improvements to the Memorial since
its dedication with more improvements planned.
