One of the earliest, if not the very first, monument dedicated to those who served in Vietnam is about to be rededicated after years of obscurity and neglect.

It had been forgotten, rediscovered, reclaimed and then stolen, but a replica of the Chadds Ford’s Vietnam monument is about to be dedicated during a ceremony at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15, at the Brandywine Mills Shopping Center, 751 Wilmington Pike in Glen Mills. The location is part of a green space between a row of shops and the Wegmans supermarket.
