Our process, photoengraved concrete will take on a new purpose in 2022-2023.

Complimenting our program to bring more connection to our service members buried across our nation, we are going to begin introducing a special program nationwide. We have selected a body of images dedicated to the Vietnam War. The example below is a large concrete plate depicting the removal of the wounded into the Huey helicopters. We plan to include a body of 5 images, to begin with, and place these into the ground. Alongside the plates will be a special engraved plate that when scanned will describe the conditions, desperation, anguish, and despair felt by those who served as told by veterans who served.

We have now begun our program in narrating a story to properly educate and share the image's personality. In this first audio, we recognize Lt. Siedor, a helicopter pilot responsible for the evacuation of wounded during the Vietnam War. This Audio describes the scene as it unfolds through the experience of retrieving the wounded in what was defined as the "Dustoff".
