Honoring Their Service. Remembering Their Sacrifice. Preserving Their Legacy.
The Vietnam Veterans Association of Mason Square Upper Hill Neighborhood Council invites residents, veterans, families, and community organizations to join us on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 9:15 AM, at the Mason Square Vietnam Memorial, located at State Street and Eastern Avenue in Springfield.
Erected in December 1967, this historic monument honors five Black servicemen who gave their lives during the Vietnam War:
Ronald C. Hurst
Gus Stovall Jr.
David L. Owens
Norman C. Farris
James C. Starnes
Recognized as the nation's first monument dedicated to Black Vietnam veterans, the memorial represents an important part of Springfield's history and the sacrifices made by members of our community.
We encourage everyone to attend this remembrance ceremony and help ensure that their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
All are welcome.
The Upper Hill Neighborhood Council is sharing this invitation in support of the community remembrance ceremony.
Stay Informed. Stay Connected. Stay Involved.
