U.S. Navy Seabees with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron Facilities adopted the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing Vietnam Memorial at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, to commemorate the Vietnam War and its fallen heroes. Constructed in May 1972, the memorial has a black and red torii standing between it and the setting sun to honor the fallen, and symbolizes the friendship and support of our Japanese neighbors. Located within the emblazoned names on the monument are words saying “In memoriam, with grateful remembrance for those who gave their lives before us, we dedicate this plaque and our lives that their sacrifice may never be in vain. We commend their souls to Almighty God. May all who read these words rededicate their lives to the preservation of freedom which others have bought for us.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
