Memorial plan for Vietnam protesters draws veteran opposition
Phoenix cab driver Terry Choate plans a Vietnam War Protesters Memorial Victory Peace Park on an acre near Interstate 10, featuring a 26 foot concrete column and a 4 foot peace symbol. Veterans groups condemn the project as desecration while Choate vows to fund it with savings and land sales. The effort, sparked by the 1982 anniversary of Vietnam’s end, faces legal and financial hurdles and draws threats and skepticism from local veterans.
