Atlanta and Fulton County lost 240 known Souls in the Vietnam War.

 

Their names are memorialized in the Georgia State Memorial Park across from the State Capital Building at 2 MLK Jr. Drive in downtown Atlanta, and on the National Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Washington DC, but nowhere in the City of Atlanta is there a Memorial with the Atlanta City Seal for these highest status patriots.

​

On January 22, 2019, thanks to the leadership of Michael J. Bond and the full support of the Atlanta Commission on Veterans Affairs, the Atlanta City Council adopted a Resolution,

partnering with the 1118th Chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America to establish a "Sons of Atlanta Vietnam War Monument and Memorial Experience" honoring those citizens from this City. On June 5, 2019, the Fulton County Commission, led by Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr., adopted a Proclamation also endorsing and supporting this Project. Despite the great history of Atlanta, there is no monument specifically honoring them. We have install a permanent memorial to honor those Atlantans and Fulton County heroes who were Killed-In-Action in the Vietnam War, the Sons of Atlanta.
