A color guard stands over the newly-installed stone built to commemorate the 14 young men from Elmhurst who were killed in the Vietnam War. It stands at the site where the Traveling Vietnam Wall Memorial stood for a week in 1988. A smaller memorial was placed there under a tree at that time, but this memorial is larger, more visible and serves as a better tribute to the City’s fallen soldiers.
