It is our sincere belief that with your support and commitment we will build a lasting tribute to the Western Slope and Colorado Vietnam Era Veterans. Let your voice be heard by calling or writing your elected officials. Please help us also by giving us a few dollars or a few hours of your time. Please help us make this project a reality "Lest we forget"!The inspiration for the memorial was a story of two 1967 Central High Graduates. They were best of friends who learned how to fly at Walker Field at the age of 16 years old. They were sent to Vietnam 1970. Tommy Doody as a pilot of a UH-1H chopper and Marshall Davis in the Corps of Engineers. Tommy is killed on a mission into Laos in 1971. Marshall dies piloting an Ambulance Helicopter in 1986 in Oregon. It is their story that evolved this project into The Western Slope Vietnam War Memorial. We have provided links in order for you to enjoy their personal stories. Thank You!!! James J. Doody - Founder |
The basic design of the memorial will be a static display of a UH-1H helicopter. The Huey is the symbol of the Vietnam Era. The Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps all flew missions in the Huey aircraft. All US military branches will have their emblem placed on the Wall of the Memorial. The names of the men from the Western Slope who were lost will have a special representation incorporated into the memorial. On the pad of the memorial will be the United States Flag, Colorado State Flag, and the Vietnam Service Ribbon. |
