Plans to add a second monument at Freedom Park in Westminster, California, where a tribute to fallen and imprisoned soldiers who served during the Vietnam War for the United States and the Army Republic of Vietnam already exists, was unanimously approved by the City of Westminster City Council Dec. 9.
Sid Goldstein Freedom Park features two 11-foot soldiers cast in bronze, one of an American and one of a South Vietnamese Soldier, and was built to represent the cooperation between the two countries during the Vietnam War. However, there has been opposition to adding any more monuments to the park as expressed during public session prior to the 5-0 city council vote.
