Vietnam War Memorial

I have visited the Vietnam War Memorial at Freedom Park in Westminster, a place that embodies healing and reverence. My experience there was deeply moving, especially after attending the performance of MISS SAIGON at the Rose Center Theatre, presented by the Vietnamese American Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra to celebrate its 30th anniversary in Spring 2025. As I left the theatre, the haunting emotions stirred by the powerful performances lingered in my heart. Walking through the War Memorial, I was reminded that it has been 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War. I gazed at the statue once more through my car windshield before departing, filled with a heavy heart. I found myself praying for the souls of those who fought and sacrificed their lives in the conflict. I hope they have found peace, and I want to acknowledge that, as Vietnamese, we will never forget the soldiers lost to the war, regardless of which side they were on. Their memory lives on in our hearts. ❤️

This was a small yet intimate Vietnam War memorial. It was well-maintained in a quiet peaceful park. I found it very inspirational and thought-provoking.

This place helps me understand the war, and I am incredibly grateful to the soldiers who sacrificed. Although my generation and yours are completely separated, I deeply understand your feelings about the destiny of our homeland and country.

Beautiful memorial. Its hard to feel peaceful with police station next door.

Vietnam War Memorial Park was a huge disappointment. The place is very dirty and completely neglected, with trash everywhere and graffiti covering much of the area. Cobwebs and spider webs are everywhere, making it feel unkempt and uncared for. It’s sad to see a park with such historical significance in such poor condition. This is definitely not a good place for kids to play—it feels more like a typical ghetto North County park than a place meant to honor veterans. 1 star, and that’s being generous.

An excellent location that commemorates the sacrifices of Americans and South Vietnamese. There's a ceremony at 11:00 a.m. the first Sunday of every month. The city of Westminster just held a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, Black April. I have lived in "Little Saigon" for 39 years

Really quiet well kept park... Very informative statues... Only bad thing is bathrooms were not open when i was there... Everything else is a must see

🏃‍♀️All the times I've been to west court and never stopped at this Vietnam War Memorial . The big goblet or cauldron with the natural gas flame is pretty cool.. if u ever need a light really bad you know where to go!! Lol. Nice little playground and stairs going into building next door are great for cardio. 💪
