Faces of War Memorial

Faces of War Memorial is a Vietnam War memorial located in Roswell, Georgia, in the United States. It is located on the grounds of Roswell City Hall and was dedicated on Memorial Day on May 29, 1995. The monument has a height of 14 ft (4.3 m) and a width of 20 ft (6.1 m). The monument is made of brick enclosing a sculpted bronze centerpiece topped with a capstone made of Georgia marble. The bronze-cast centerpiece depicts a soldier reaching for the outstretched hand of a small girl, surrounded by background of fifty faces, all variously displaying a range of emotions. A thin cascade of water flows over the faces from the top of the monument. A Memorial Day ceremony is held annually at the Faces of War Memorial which began in 1998, though it was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Roswell's annual Memorial Day ceremony is the largest Memorial Day event in the state of Georgia. The monument was designed by local architect Zachary Henderson, and the bronze-cast centerpiece of the monument was sculpted by local husband-and-wife sculptors Don Haugen and Teena Stern.
