Fifty-one servicemen from Richland County who died in Vietnam were honored over the weekend during the dedication ceremony of the Richland County Vietnam Veteran's Memorial.

The polished black granite wall erected on the front lawn of the Richland County Administration Building, displays the names of all 51 service members who fought in the Vietnam War.

Richland County Vietnam Veteran's Memorial committee member Larry Moore, said the monument was made possible through the generous support of area veterans and their families. He said the $35,000 memorial was a labor of love for the Richland County Joint Veterans Council who spearheaded the project which began in March 2009.
