The Three Servicemen

Three Soldiers, signifies the diversity of the troops who served in Vietnam. 

In January 1982, the decision was made to add a flagstaff and sculpture on the Memorial site in order to provide a realistic depiction of three Vietnam servicemen and a symbol of their courage and devotion to their country.  

In July 1982, VVMF selected Washington, D.C. sculptor Frederick Hart to design the sculpture of the servicemen to be placed at the site.

The Three Servicemen Statue is a slightly larger-than-life depiction of three infantrymen cast in bronze.

The men—one white, one black, and one intended to represent all other ethnic groups in the country—are all in uniform, carrying weapons.
