Kentucky Vietnam Memorial Maximum Print Size: 20" x 30" Photographer/Artist: Jim Lane Image Number: 0345-0703-1921-1705 License This Image Poster Art-Print Description: Stock image of the Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Frankfort, Kentucky, USA. The design concept is in the form of a large sundial. The stainless steel gnomon casts its shadow upon a granite plaza. There are 1,100 names of Kentuckians on the memorial, including 23 missing in action. Each name is engraved into the plaza, and placed so that the tip of the shadow touches his name on the anniversary of his death, thus giving each fallen veteran a personal Memorial Day. The location of each name is fixed mathematically by the date of casualty, the geographic location of the memorial, the height of the gnomon and the physics of solar movement. The stones were then designed and cut to avoid dividing any individual name. The resulting radial-concentric joint pattern suggests a web, symbolic of the entangling nature of this war. associated terms: poster, posters, art print, art prints, posters and art prints, america, american flag, flag, frankfort, gnomon, granite, granite plaza, jim lane, kentucky, kentucky vietnam memorial, ky, large sundial, memorial, plaza, stainless steel, stainless steel gnomon, state, sundial, us, usa, vietnam, vietnam memorial, kentucky memorial,
