Lower Bucks Memorial

The Lower Bucks County Vietnam Memorial was dedicated in 2021 to remember the 95 servicemen from Lower Bucks County who were killed or missing in action during the Vietnam War, those who suffered the aftereffects of Agent Orange and PTSD, and all who served in the conflict.

Sculptor Abbe Godwin, whose works include the statue of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Gardens in Raleigh, NC; the Stephen Foster sculpture in the Smithsonian American Art Museum; the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the grounds of the state capitol in Raleigh; and more, created the 600-pound bronze statue that is the centerpiece of the memorial.

The memorial includes the names of the 94 dead and one missing from Lower Bucks County and is a permanent reminder not to forget the service, the sacrifice and the suffering of those who served in the Vietnam War. It honors sons of Bensalem Township, Bristol Borough, Bristol Township, Falls Township, Hulmeville Borough, Langhorne Borough, Langhorne Manor Borough, Lower Makefield Township, Lower Southampton Township, Middletown Township, Morrisville Borough, Newtown Borough, Newtown Township, Northampton Township, Penndel Borough, Upper Makefield Township, Upper Southampton Township, and Wrightstown Township. 

Created by the PA Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation, the memorial was funded by state and local grants, and through various fund-raising efforts.
