Memorials crafted by our BGA artisans honoring our country's servicemen and women are found around the world. One of these is the 'Vietnam Helicopter Pilot and Crewmember Monument' at Arlington National Cemetery. It honors the nearly 5,000 helicopter pilots and crewmembers who lost their lives conducting aerial operations in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. It was crafted from Barre Gray granite by Granite Industries of Vermont and dedicated in 2018. (U.S. Army photo by Elizabeth Fraser) https://barregranite.org/civic-public-monuments/
