At the request of the General Assembly, the
Governor created the Maryland Vietnam Veterans

Memorial Commission in February 1984 (Joint
Resolution no. 22, Acts of 1983). The Commis-
sion developed recommendations for a Vietnam
war memorial to honor Marylanders who were
killed or missing-in-action during that conflict. It
continues meeting to monitor and assist in the
work of erecting the memorial.

Construction of the memorial will begin in late
summer of 1987 at Federal Hill Park in Balti-
more. The memorial will display the names of the
1,010 State residents who died in Vietnam from
1959 to 1975. Included among these are the
names of 37 Marylanders who are listed as miss-
ing-in-action.

The Commission submitted its first report to the
Governor on January 2, 1987.
