Contemplation Garden

The Contemplation Garden is the second of the six memorial gardens to be constructed on the museum site.
It will contain a replica of the Camp Holloway Memorial Wall that was located on the post in Pleiku, South Vietnam.

The monument stood near Headquarters in Camp Holloway, but has since been destroyed.  For the members of
the 52nd CAB who served at Camp Holloway, the "wall" was sacred and represented fellow soldiers and friends
that gave their lives in the line of duty.  

The Board of Directors of the National Vietnam War Museum offered space in the Contemplation Garden for a
replica of the memorial.  A number of 52nd CAB volunteers and supporters of the museum have begun construction
of the memorial wall.

The wall is estimated to cost from $40,000 to $60,000 and fundraising is now underway.  Construction is expected
to be completed in May, 2008 and a dedication ceremony is planned for Fall, 2008. 

Contributions for the memorial wall are being sought by the 52nd CAB and can be made using the museum
Gift Shop Order Form or they may be mailed to the museum at the address on the Contact Page.  Please include
a notation that the contribution is for the Camp Holloway Memorial Wall.
