Staff photo by Megumi Rooze Jeann David, wife of a veteran, reads the list of people who died from Arkansas with help from Freddie Leathers, special assistant to Vietnam Veterans of Texarkana, and Don Ruggles, member of Vietnam Veterans of America Wednesday night at the Korean-Vietnam War Memorial in Texarkana. The local Vietnam Veterans were rededicating the memorial on the 20th anniversary of it being built.
About 40 people gathered in the brisk evening air Wednesday to commemorate a project started to remember area veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars.

Situated near downtown Texarkana, the Korea/Vietnam Memorial brick wall was built and dedicated as a labor of love 20 years ago this week by veterans determined to memorialize their fallen and missing comrades.

During Wednesday night’s ceremony, members of the local Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 278 rededicated the memorial by reading the names of about 400 veterans listed on the wall from the Four States Area.
