CONCLUSION: The "Three Servicemen" memorial statue at the entrance to The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial, Washington, D.C.,U.S.A. Photo © 1992 W.S.O' Shea. The sixteen known Irishmen, including Captain Edmond J. Landers, who gave their lives on the battlefields of South-East Asia during the Vietnam Campaign had, like generations of Irishmen before them, answered the call of their adopted countries and fought in the defence of a free world. Through the generosity of Mr. Kane and his family, Ireland now has its own memorial to honour those Irish U. S. servicemen and women who served , but more especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their all. Its purpose, as so aptly described by Mr. Kane himself, " will be to help the families, including the families of Ireland's peace-keepers who died on U. N. Missions, to make the transition; not necessarily to ease the pain but provide an anchor, a milestone of remembrance". |
