Houston Newsmakers: A new Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be unveiled, jazz tribute for 95 people, Periwinkle Camp celebrates 40 years, and more.
The Periwinkle Camp celebrates 40 years of providing smiles and support to children battling cancer.Edward Pollard set to unveil Vietnam Veterans MemorialHouston City Council Member Edward Pollard remembered something his father told him about the Vietnam War, specifically about the reception he received when he was a returning Marine from that war. The lack of respect is what Pollard remembered.
“I told him if I ever was elected I would work to try to get a memorial that gives proper fitting, not just for those who passed away during the war but to tell the entire Houston story” he said. Pollard will get that chance on May 26 with the dedication of Houston’s newest memorial to honor Vietnam Veterans. He said the great leadership of those in TIRZ 20 to turn a flood mitigation pond into Club Creek Park and the home of the new monument has been very impressive.
“We wanted to make it aesthetically pleasing, so you’ll not only have a basin that will be a huge man-made pond but you’ll have walking trails all around it and new landscaping,” Pollard said. “You’ll have playground equipment and exercise equipment, but the highlight, in my opinion will be this Houston Vietnam Veterans Memorial.”
