This life-sized sculpture of three soldiers carrying their wounded comrade from the field under fire was commissioned of sculptor William Ludwig by the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program, a group of Louisiana Vietnam veterans. The piece was dedicated on Veterans’ Day of 1984. This was the first of several subsequent Vietnam veterans’ monuments to be erected in the United States.
