The North Wall: Cheers to the Canadian Warriors with the US Crew in Vietnam

The Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial, affectionately dubbed 'The North Wall', is a monument dedicated to the Canadians who gave their lives or went missing during the Vietnam War, serving alongside the US Forces. Erecting this tribute in 1995, the Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial Association, this monument serves as a lasting landmark of the efforts of the 40,000 Canadians who served in Vietnam between 1959 and 1975. Sculpted from black granite, the North Wall stretches 14 feet across, towers 11 feet tall, and weighs over three tons.

This monument honors and commemorates the 103 known Canadians who were killed in action, and the seven who remain unaccounted for. Although the United States has recognized these fallen Canadians, it's Canada's turn to erect an official war memorial for them. Thanks to a passionate band of American veterans, a Canadian war memorial found a home in Windsor, Ontario, in 1995. The North Wall stands as a substantial tribute to the Canadians who served and made the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of freedom.
