MEMORIAL
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was conceived by Jan Scruggs. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, Inc., was incorporated on April 27, 1979 in Washington, D.C., by a group of Vietnam veterans: Jan Scruggs, President of VVMF; Robert Doubek, Project Director and later as Executive Director; John Wheeler, Chairman of the Board. They lobbied Congress for a two-acres plot of land in Constituti on Gardens. Significant support came from Senator Charles Mathias, Jr., of Maryland and Senator John Warner of Virginia. On July 1, 1980 President Jimmy Carter signed the legislation to provide a site in Constitution Gardens near the Lincoln Memorial. It was a three and a half year task to build the Memorial and to orchestrate a celebration, under the direction of Sandie Fauriol, to salute those who served in Vietnam. The Memorial wall was designed by Maya Ying Lin and was dedicated on November 13, 1982. The sculpture created by Frederick Hart called "The Three Servicemen" was unveiled on November 8, 1984. In 1986 Vietnam nurse Diane Evans began the task of adding a statue to the site, recognizing the women who served in Vietnam. The statue, sculpted by Glenna Goodacre, was dedicated on November 11, 1992.

The Korean and Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial was dedicated on July 4, 1983. This Memorial was made possible by the Jefferson City Veterans Council and through private donations on a site provided by the City of Jefferson. In 2006 the memorial site was moved to accommodate security interest of the Police Department and to provide a more prominent location designed to emphasize the importance of the memorial. The new Veteran’s Plaza design includes the original Korean and Vietnam memorial and a “Walk of Honor”. The “Walk of Honor” approaches the memorial from four directions, lined with commemorative bricks, engraved with the name, rank, branch of service, years of service and conflict. The purpose of the “Walk of Honor” is to honor any area veteran who honorably served in the United States Military, Coast Guard or Merchant Marines.

Life Member of Samuel F. Gearhart Detachment of the Marine Corps League where he was honored as "Marine of the Year" for 2004.
He was well known as a writer and singer of songs reflecting his service in Vietnam and his trip to visit the Wall in Washington, DC. He wrote a song titled “Chiseled
in Stone” which was his tribute to all the brave warriors who made the ultimate sacrifice. He wrote that song 10 years ago when he heard the Vietnam Moving Wall
was coming to Jefferson City.
While serving in the United States Marine Corps he arrived in Vietnam in March 1955 as a rifleman (grunt) and 13 months later (April 1967) came back to the world
(what the U.S.A. was called back in those days). He is quoted as having said, “As with all Vietnam Vets, part of me is still there and always will be. As a songwriter, I
feel like I’m a voice for all my brothers who served.”
Rest In Peace, Brother – as you Guard the Golden Gates.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall
September 24-28
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall, a half sized replica of the Wall in Washington D.C., will be on display on the South lawn of the Missouri
State Capitol September 24-28, 2015. Tentatively, an opening ceremony is planned for Thursday, September 24 at noon. Immediately following
volunteers will begin the vigilant reading of all 58,286 names of the men and women who gave their life in service to their country during the Vietnam
War. It has been 10 years since this beautiful tribute to Vietnam Veterans has graced the state capitol, and organizers hope to attract more than 20,000
people to the memorial during its visit. The Jefferson City Veterans Council has helped direct the project and the 200 plus volunteers it will require to
staff the Wall which will be available for viewing around the clock. A must see for fall of 2015; an opportunity like this may not come around for
another decade.

“The Wall is solid, its granite face designed to resist the elements for all time.
Yet, as visitors touch its surface, the Wall becomes almost fluid. Small ripples of
hope and healing spread ever out-wards. Like the concentric circles created
when a stone is tossed into a pond, the impact of the Wall grows and grows.”
