Into the Roc: Vietnam Veterans Memorial of Greater Rochester

Join Into the Roc as we take a tour of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial of Greater Rochester. Veterans of the Vietnam War will be guiding the program and will share insight as to how the memorial pays homage to a significant time in both the nation's and Rochester's history.

The memorial commemorates the service, valor, and sacrifice of Vietnam Veterans and Vietnam Era Veterans as well as all members of the Greater Rochester community who were touched by the effects of the war. The memorial also provides all Americans the opportunity for learning, remembering, and peaceful reflection. It aims to educate future generations about the war and effects leading up to it. It also serves as an oasis where people from the Greater Rochester area come to reflect about acts of valor by fellow soldiers, a loved one who suffered or died as a result of the war, and to publicly welcome home those who served.

Please dress comfortably for walking and remember to bring water!
