During a recent trip to "Little Saigon," had the opportunity to visit the Vietnam War Memorial. As a former soldier, who spend time serving in South Vietnam, this was a very difficult memorial to visit. During my years in Vietnam, I lost many good friends, both Vietnamese and American servicemen and women. Those deaths still haunts me to this day. The Vietnam War Memorial in "Little Saigon," Westminster, California was dedicate on April 27, 2003 at Sid Goldstein Freedom Park. It features two bronze 15 foot high statues of soldiers, (a South Vietnamese and an American soldier) standing together atop a black marble base arranged in a semi circle. The flags of the United States of America and the Republic of South Vietnam are flying behind the soldiers. In the center is an "eternal flame'' bronze urn surrounded by a moat and iron fence. There are no name inscriptions on the memorial. This memorial pays respect to those 58,178 American and 300,000+ Vietnamese men and women who fought and died during the 1961 - 1975 Vietnam War. Around the circular memorial, one will find a park with shade trees, rose bushes, park benches, a playground for children, and restrooms. A quiet place to reflect on friends loss during the war. For me this visit to the Vietnamese War Memorial is step towards healing the wounds of war. Recommend that everyone should visit this memorial and spend a few moments honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the War.

A very nice and well done memorial honoring those that served (Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard). Located above Strand Beach , worth a quick stop to show your respect.

Pacific View Memorial Park Mortuary is conveniently located on the breathtaking grounds of Pacific View Memorial Park and has proudly served the community for over 50 years. From the first day in 1958 when Pacific View Memorial Park opened its gates in beautiful Corona Del Mar, California, it has been our mission for everything created in the park to remind visitors of the beauty in the lives of those who are honored here. This vision has been captured throughout our grounds. Intimate surroundings, open courtyards, beautiful landscaping and splashing fountains all express the joy of life and make visits to Pacific View pleasant and gentle to the memory.

Came here to see where the "Duke" was buried. Nice people that gave us a map and the location of his grave site. For many years his grave did not have a plaque because of some people not liking his views. John has a great view and is still liked and loved by many
