Consideration, discussion, and possible approval for the City to loan the Military History Center the original Broken Arrow Vietnam Memorial for display at the Museum
End
Background:
On April 18, 2017, the City Council approved the relocation of the Vietnam War Memorial site from Central Park to Veterans’ Park as part of the Phase II construction project which is currently underway. A new replica of the memorial will be erected in Veterans Park, which commemorates Broken Arrow residents killed in action in the Vietnam War.
In a letter dated April 10, 2018, the Military History Center requested that the original Vietnam memorial pedestal be relocated to the Military Center’s Veteran Memorial Plaza. The Military Center plans to display the statute in a location that is visible and accessible to the public.
The Museum would be responsible for the maintenance of the statute once it is displayed at their location.
