Facts and practical information

The Special Warfare Memorial Statue — known informally as Bronze Bruce — was the first Vietnam Memorial in the United States. It was created in 1968 by sculptor Donald De Lue and dedicated on November 19, 1969. The statue is the centerpiece of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command's Memorial Plaza at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and is symbolic of all the command's soldiers. A Special Forces soldier was chosen as the model for the statue since nearly all Army special operations soldiers killed in Vietnam were "Green Berets." ()
