Vietnam Memorial of the Permian Basin

The Vietnam Memorial is an outdoor monument located at Midland International Airport less than a quarter-mile from the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Museum and Headquarters. The memorial serves to honor the brave men and women who fought for the freedom that we and many others enjoy today. This monument includes a 10 foot wall with a large outline of Texas. Listed within are each of the Permian Basin counties and those who were listed as killed or missing in action from Vietnam service. To complete the monument a five-sided pentagon graces the entry which holds plaques of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Hidden spotlights illuminate four flags (United States, Texas, and two- POW/MIA) 24 hours a day. Visitors are welcomed and encouraged to visit this touching monument. Free admission.
