Description
The memorial, entitled "After the Firefight" by sculptor Abbe Godwin, contains three bronze soldiers clad in uniform and holding their rifles close. It is located on the grounds of the old state capital in Raleigh, North Carolina. Two of the figures carry their injured comrade to a landing zone to receive medical attention; the soldiers eye the sky, watching for an evacuation helicopter. The memorial honors more than 206,000 men and women of North Carolina who served in the Vietnam War and over 1,600 who died or are still missing. A fact sheet from the memorial committee explains: “The composition shows the intense caring that can be the result of the kind of situation that men face in war. One’s race, religion, social class, education, and other superficial things that sometimes separate, become totally irrelevant.”
