I was very impressed with the whole memorial area. The pictures of the young men who gave their all for my country really brought it to mind what America lost in that war. Thank you Mississippi for honoring your sons in this beautiful setting.

As a Vietnam Vet I feel healed and rested and some times shed a few tears. It's a good quite peaceful place to remember and reflect upon years gone by. When I'm having a bad day a visit to this memorial helps me. I hope it helps you as well.

Very moving to see all the pictures of veterans. They have a helicopter, a ship's mast, a workout area like you see in the military, a walking park and a torpedo. Mom and I went on Memorial Day this year and there were quite a few people there paying respects. Surprised they didn't have a ceremony planned for that day.

This is a thoughtful, respectful and well planned memorial for those men and women who gave their lives for our country. Plan to spend a little time, as there is much to see. Old Georgia Boy wrote a great review, please read it. I couldn't possibly say it better. I am attaching some photos to share. I am happy for my visit and that I was able to pay my respect to their memory.

As a Viet Nam veteran, I find it peaceful to sit among the names and the quietness of the memorial and pray or just think about those days and the friends I lost. Very comforting and worth a visit.

I don't usually review sites like this, but, for me, this memorial was, in some ways, even more moving than the Vietnam Memorial in D.C. My wife and I stopped by on our trip to see family for Christmas in Georgia not really knowing what to expect. I am not of the Vietnam Era (I was born in 1970), but I am a history buff and was really touched by the photos displayed of all the young men who gave their lives during this war. As I looked at the countless pictures of them I imagined how heartbreaking it must have been for their families to receive the news of their deaths and I have to admit I got a bit emotional. A very well thought out place for remembrance.

This war memorial by far exceeds most in towns. It was a pleasant surprise to see etched pictures on the walls along with names. Very touching gesture that I have only seen on a war monument in Ocean Springs

this is some place you should visit not matter if you are from the USA or not. The pictures on the walls of those youngsters who were killed is moving and should be a reminder to all of the waste of war. It's impossible to see without tears.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is one of those places that brings tears to your eyes as you view the photos of those from Mississippi who gave their all. It's a quiet and peaceful place where you can just sit and pray.
As an added site, there is a memorial to Submarines that have been lost with their crews. It is dedicated to the men of the USS Tullebee which was lost in WWII.

the VIETNAM VET MEMORIAL is a long overdue place of HONOR!!! I believe that the place will capture your heart,mind and spirit for a humbling experience-of just what occured in the conflict--just the names and faces -of the lives LOST -just from this area alone---is staggering!!! the MEMORIAL is NOT hard to find--it is located just off hyway 90 in OCEAN SPRINGS,MISS...it has a walking track around the grounds--and it very peaceful-even being close to the hyway---the memorial--itself is like i said OVER DUE---and it does make you think about the consequrnces of WAR--which in my eyes -human lives are wrth so much MORE---When you visit--just keep in mind some of these things--and has I DID WHEN I WAS THERE---I JUST FELT --IT WAS NOT ENOUGH--NO -we can construct monuments in HONOR AND MEMORY --BUT--the COST IS FAR MORE than the mire construction of it all!!!! look into the faces and the eyes of some of those pictures---and has the warm gulf breezes blow across your faces---there will probably be more tears to wipe away-than you could have imagined!!! GO---EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO VISIT ---IT IS HUMBLING.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question. That said, I believe it is part of the city parks system, I would suggest contacting the Ocean Springs Parks Department. Hope that helps.
