About Angel Fire Vietnam Veterans Memorial

The memorial sits beside the Angel Fire State Veterans Cemetery and is recognized by Congress as a memorial of national significance. It grew out of a chapel started in 1968 by a local family after their son was killed in Vietnam, and the project later widened to honor all Vietnam veterans. Today it includes a visitor center and museum, a library, memorabilia and artwork, an amphitheater, a memorial walkway, gardens, a Huey helicopter display, and the graves of the founders.
