ELMIRA, NY (WENY) -- A monument bearing the names of the men from Chemung County who were killed during the Vietnam War was placed at Eldridge Park in Elmira on Friday.

The monument, a bronze plaque set in stone, displays the names of the more than 30 service members killed in action. It was one of five displayed at the Moving Wall at Eldridge Park earlier this summer. The Chemung County monument is now next to the vault that was buried in August, containing mementos and items left behind at the Wall.

Members of the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 803 placed the monument today, pouring the concrete footer and laying stone around the base. 

"It's like a final chapter I guess, it doesn't really close the book completely for a lot of us, but it does help in a cleansing sort of way," said Larry Sherman, a Vietnam veteran and President of the VVA 803 chapter.

Other monuments were made for the service members who died in Vietnam from Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga and Tompkins counties. The other monuments have gone to their home counties for placement.
