Background: A request by the Augusta-CSRA Vietnam War Veterans Memorial Initiative requesting to erect a memorial in the median of Broad Street, in Olde Town, between the 3rd and 4th Street intersections. Five granite slabs will form a semi-circular shape. The monument will honor all Augusta-CSRA Vietnam War Veterans and specifically those 160 who gave their lives, the area's 3 prisoners of war, and 1 missing in action. Analysis: A proposal to erect a permanent memorial in downtown Augusta to honor all of the CSRA’s Vietnam War Veterans, both living and deceased to thank them and to honor them for their service and ensure their legacy is preserved. The Olde Town Neighborhood Association endorses this memorial and the proposed memorial location on the Broad Street Median between 3rd and 4th Streets – next to the three other historical military memorials and markers. The Augusta Planning Commission held a public hearing for comment on November 5, 2018 and all comments were in support of the memorial. No one was present who objected.
