Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Milford unveiled as a military tribute in granite
The dedication of the Milford Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Nov. 11 drew together Army buddies who went to Vietnam in the same unit and whose service together is celebrated here with the viewing of Vietnam Veteran Steve Cox's inscribed name, one among 225 from Milford listed on the monument, an event shared here by his Vietnam veteran friends, from left, Tana Allen, (Steve Cox), Rick Lavoie and Connie Dionne.

The craftsmen who applied their skills to creating the Milford Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a work in progress whose two blocks of six tons each of Milford granite are reflective of the open pages of a book, include these citizens, from left, Adam Medlyn (sandblasting), Christopher Tenaglier (stone carver), John Weidman (monument sculptor, technical advisor and Vietnam veteran) and Jim Larson (stone carver).
