The Roswell Vietnam War Monument is fourteen feet in height and twenty feet across, highlighted by Georgia marble capstones and old colonial bricks. Fifty faces, cast in bronze, depict an array of emotions, including fear, grief, and courage. They represent American servicemen and women, medical personnel, and Vietnamese civilians. One particular figure in the sculpture is that of a soldier reaching out to clasp the hand of a little girl. A sheer waterfall cascades over the backdrop faces.

The memorial is not visible from the road but can be seen from the parking lot and reached by a short brick walkway. The Faces of War Memorial is an example of one of the finest Vietnam memorials in Georgia.

Local trivia: If visiting nearby Gainesville, "The Chicken Capital of the World," it's illegal to eat chicken with a fork.

Also in the area: Riders Hill is 40 miles to the northeast of here, a favorite gathering spot for local motorcyclists: “...a perfect stop as you ride of some of the best motorcycle routes in the country! Services include motorcycle sales & rentals, tires & service, apparel & gear, lunch cafe, picnic area, and a rocking chair porch!"
