Texas Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway (US Highway 83) - Stonewall County, TX - Vietnam POW/MIA Monuments on Waymarking.com

The sign has text in both English and Spanish -- I've added the missing diacritics in the Spanish section -- with the appropriate section of US 83 depicted as a green strip of land superimposed upon the flag of the State of Texas, captioned "Texas Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway." Still legible despite having been disrespected and used for target practice, it reads:

Texas Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway
US Highway 83

In gratitude to the thousands of men and women who served our country during the Vietnam War, the people of Texas dedicate this highway which runs across our state from the southernmost tip to the northernmost point. It is our hope that all those who travel US 83 will pause to remember those who gave up their lives or their youth or their hopes in that long and bitter conflict. We vow not to forget those who did not return to us and we pledge to remember the sacrifices of those who have come home.
