The Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial stands on a hill overlooking the state capitol building. Completed in November of 1988, the memorial is an amazing piece of mathematics-based architectural design. It consists of a huge sundial with a stainless steel gnomon and a granite plaza beneath it.
The names of the 1104 Kentuckians who died in Vietnam are carved into the plaza, and the shadow of the dial touches each name on the anniversary of his death. The memorial is a majestic tribute to the fallen and garners large crowds of visitors each year.
