The original Molly Marine still stands in New Orleans.';

However, the Marines realized that they could not honor just one unit and so the memorial was dedicated to all Marines who served in Vietnam. The triangular column represents the “V” for Vietnam. A bronze plaque identifies this as the “Fellowship of Valor” that unites all Marines.';

The bodies were placed into 16 trenches which were originally marked with simple wooden markers stating “Unknown.” In 1955 these were replaced with just marble headstones at the end of each of the trenches indicating the burial sites of unknown soldiers. The cemetery also contains the burial site of a Medal of Honor recipient and the unusual story of Florena Budwin who dressed as a Union soldier in an attempt to find her husband but was captured and imprisoned at Florence before she died.';
