More than 500,000 Texans served in the Vietnam War. While the war is history for some, the healing continues for others. That’s why the Texas Capitol Vietnam War Monument is being created.
In May 2005, during the 79th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature, Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa and Representative Wayne Smith sponsored House Concurrent Resolution 36 authorizing a Vietnam War monument on the Capitol grounds. The monument is to be built from private donations; no tax dollars are to be used. Monument dedication is anticipated in early 2012.
