The Oregon Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a 3.25 acre memorial dedicated to Oregonians who served in the Vietnam War.

The memorial was dedicated in 1987, inspired in 1982 by visits to the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial by five veterans and the parents of a Marine killed in Vietnam. Walker and Macy of Portland designed the memorial.

The memorial is wheelchair accessible and consists of a 1200 foot spiral path within an immaculately landscaped bowl containing lawns, flowers and low hedges surrounded by a mixture of tall trees. Along the path are black granite monuments which name soldiers killed or missing. Each monument is year specific and effectively communicates the progression of the war: a slow beginning escalating to a crescendo then diminishing before the end.

This memorial holds special meaning to state sponsor, Randy Holcomb, whose uncle, SSG David A. Morgan, is memorialized on the first monument. He was killed in action in September 1965 while serving in Vietnam with the 5th Special Forces Gp.
