Help honor veterans in America’s heartland
With ongoing support from proud Americans like you, we’ll build a site dedicated to all those who served in uniform
Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial
Stunning black granite presses against the earth with the names of those we lost in Vietnam
The Missouri National Veterans Memorial is proud to feature a full-scale black granite Vietnam Veterans Memorial identical to that in Washington D.C. on the National Mall.
This awe-inspiring, full-scale memorial will allow veterans, civilians and those currently serving to reflect on the sacrifices of our Vietnam veterans in the quiet, peaceful setting that Perryville offers.
The memorial is located 1.5 hours from St. Louis, Mo., and approximately 3 miles off a major interstate, making it easily accessible for visitors, especially those with limited capacity for travel.
