The Three Soldiers (also known as The Three Servicemen) is a bronze statue on the Washington, DC National Mall commemorating the Vietnam War. It was created and designed to complement the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, by adding a more traditional component to the Memorial.

The grand plan has long been to erect a full size replica of “The Three Soldiers” memorial in the “David Webb Riverfront Park”, as a tribute to Roane County Vietnam veterans.

The memorial, believed to be the only “full size” replica in the state, if not anywhere outside Washington D.C., will be placed in the park’s war memorial area near the present fountain. Long term plans are to place other memorials from America’s other wars in this area as money and support comes along.

At long last the pieces to the statues came in and were inspected and preassembled earlier this week by Cliff Cole, Gary Todd, and other members of the Legion.

The memorial was unloaded and positioned for concrete today at the park. A formal dedication ceremony will be held at 11AM on Monday (Memorial Day). The replica is not a full bronze cast, as the one in Washington, but it is what the local budget would allow. The primary purpose of the memorial is to honor all of the Roane County veterans that served, and especially those that sacrificed all, in the Vietnam War.
