Veterans Vietnam Memorial monument could be moved to Cape Coral
FORT MYERS, Fla. The Cape Coral City Council will discuss whether to move a memorial dedicated to Vietnam veterans at a meeting today, Dec 7, at 4:30 p.m.
The Southwest Florida Vietnam Veterans Memorial is dedicated to 80 veterans from Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties who lost their lives in the Vietnam War.
Currently standing on McGregor Boulevard at Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers, the memorial’s limited parking and accessibility is threatened by future road improvements and highway expansions.
The City of Cape Coral had previously designated an area near several monuments honoring America’s military as the “The Veterans Pavilion Memorial” located in Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve.
