In downtown Waterville, ME, just outside the Waterville Opera House in Castonguay Square, is a Freedom Tree planted in 1973 for POW/MIAs from Maine.
The plaque on-site reads:
The Freedom Tree
With the Vision of Universal Freedom
For All Mankind
This Tree Is Dedicated to
The POW/MIAs of Maine
And All
Prisoners of War
And Missing in Action
1973
There are no names listed on the plaque. However, the tree was clearly planted in response to the Vietnam War, and there is a website that lists the POW/MIAs from Maine during the Vietnam War:
