The monument featuring a traditionally dressed Vietnamese family in the same parking lot honors those who battled for the Republic of (South) Vietnam against communism. Houston is now the home for a huge community of Vietnamese American families.

One of the largest populations of military veterans also calls Houston home. So it is very fitting that these beautifully detailed statues exist in harmony with one another.
