Patuxent Naval Air Station is near the southern tip of Maryland and just outside the base is the Air Museum. It, of course, is dedicated to all the Navy fliers throughout our history and there is no specific memorial to Vietnam there, but there are a bunch of planes that supported the effort in 'Nam.
The museum is open to the public and is located at 22156 Three Notch Road, Lexington Park, MD
Following a just a few of the planes on display.
Sorry abt the name: Douglas NA-4 |
Predictably there is more here that I may feature in later posts.
To see additional memorials from Maryland, or any other state, please click on a state name on the left side of this page. Please note that Canada, Ireland, and Puerto Rico have been added to the list.
Next time, on July 4th, I will post something about our history, so, check in for a minute and see what's up.
If you are following along at all, you will have seen that a number
of you, like Joan from Wisconsin, Tony from Texas, Mike from Maryland,
Ron, and Molly from Florida have responded to my request to send me
memorials you have seen
in your area or where you may have traveled. These submissions help
expand the knowledge of how we have remembered the men and women who
served or were lost in 'Nam and you help to honor them. If you have any
such photos, I would love to see them. Please send them along to the
email at the left and I will gladly share them here. Thanks, once again,
to all who have contributed.
