A port of the "Faces of War" memorial at Roswell City Hall. The memorial is dedicated to those who served during the Vietnam War. In addition to inscribed bricks along the walkways, the memorial includes 50 faces, cast in bronze, depicting a variety of emotions, including fear, grief, and courage. They represent American serviceman and women, medical personnel, and Vietnamese civilians. One figure in the sculpture is that of a soldier reaching out to clasp the hand of this little girl. In warmer weather, there is a sheer waterfall that flows over the backdrop faces. The water allows visitors to see a reflection of their own faces and at that instant become a part of the memorial.
