Vietnam Veterans Memorial Philippines

This memorial on Libingan ng mga Bayani cemetery commemorates the members of the Philippine contingents and Philippine civic action groups to Vietnam (PHILCON-V and PHILCAG-V) who were active from 1964 to 1971. These dedicated men and women served as medical, dental, engineering construction, community and psychological workers and security complement who offered tremendous sacrifices as they alleviated human suffering in war-ravaged Vietnam.

The memorial contains the words:
To build and not to destroy, to bring the Vietnamese people happiness and not sorrow, to develop goodwill and not hatred.
