“The Three Soldiers” is a powerful bronze statue in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The ensemble was dedicated by President Regan in 1984. The American soldiers are in combat gear and appear to be walking on patrol. However, they are not wearing uniforms, perhaps to represent all of the servicemen killed (58,000) or wounded (153,000) during the war. The artist was Fredrick Hart. He died in 1999 at the early age of 56.
