Officials present input, changes to Myrtle Beach’s future Vietnam Veteran Memorial
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) – Myrtle Beach City leaders received an update on Tuesday into the design plan for the future Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
The proposal for the memorial was first presented in November, and since that time there have been several input meetings involving the community and veterans on what the design should look like.

The memorial will be at Warbird Park and is expected to be at the far end of the park where it can be seen from Farrow Parkway and South Kings Highway.
During the meetings, officials learned that the name should be the Vietnam Veterans Memorial rather than the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial.

“Once the information was presented to us, it really made sense to change it to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial because we ant to memorialize what people did during the war,” explained Chris Miller, the infrastructure project manager for the city of Myrtle Beach. “We don’t want to memorialize the war itself. We want to memorialize the veterans that sacrificed their life for the country.”
Another input that Miller and the architects received was that the community would like to see a helicopter at the memorial because of the huge presence helicopters had in Vietnam. The community and veterans would also like to see American and POW/MIA flags, an iron cross and a peace sign displayed at the memorial, along with an area for reflection.
