Lonely Planet review

Dedicated in 1995, this memorial depicts a troop of 19 heavily cloaked soldiers on night patrol in the rice paddies. The larger-than-life-size statues are shown mid-stride, realistically exhausted and anxious. The striking setting is enhanced by a granite wall and Pool of Remembrance along with fiber-optic lighting for night viewing. It's a poignant reminder of America's forgotten war.
