In Memory of Plumas County
Vietnam Veterans who made
the ultimate sacrifice

"No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends" : John 16:13,

This monument is a reminder to future generations of the sacrifices that have been made by past generations to ensue that our freedoms will forever be preserved. We must learn from the past so that history will not repeat itself, and we must remember that freedom is not free.
The individuals listed below are special to all of us. These young men answered their nation's call. They went, they served, and they gave their life for their county. Let us remember them, and the thousands of others who gave their life for their country in Vietnam.
