Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial

"This place is so beautiful. I wish more people would visit here."

"This incredible memorial honors 1,109 Kentucky veterans who paid the ultimate sacrifice serving this nation in Vietnam. The memorial is so precisely constructed that the sundial's pointer touches their name on the anniversary of their death. It is a must see visit in our state."

"Magnificently thought out memorial for the Kentucky veterans of the Vietnam War. This sun dial is spectacular in the way it individually memorializes each person throughout the day as the gnomon (pointer) shadow points to the person and time of each fallen soldier’s passing. Pick a nice sunny day to really appreciate this wonderful memorial, but if it’s overcast don’t miss it either. The area is well maintained and peaceful….as it should be. Parking is adequate"

"This impressive memorial is a 14-foot sundial that casts a shadow across veterans' names on the anniversaries of their deaths. Designed by architect Helm Roberts, the memorial includes more than 1,000 names etched in granite. The view over looks the Kentucky State Capitol."

"Most unique way to honor Veterans who gave all in the calling of the nation. In a nutshell, the shadow falls on the name of the fallen on the Anniversary of their passing. It is a bit confusing to explain, but just know each Warrior has a well thought out honor highlighted by the sun. The park has an incredible view of the Capitol, which is a fitting place to honor them all."
