Davis County Courthouse Vietnam War Memorial

Half a century after the courthouse sealed its stained-glass tribute at the First World War, Davis County returned to the same lawn for a later reckoning. On July 4, 1986, a Vietnam War memorial was dedicated on the courthouse grounds — a war that ended barely a decade earlier, its veterans still waiting for their welcome home. The site became the county's gathering place for an annual honors ceremony. Where the 1932 window looked backward to old campaigns, the 1986 memorial marks the conflict the county was still learning how to mourn.
