Signs honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk on a Tennessee highway will be relocated after Vietnam veterans objected to placing the memorial along a roadway that has long been dedicated to local service members killed in the Vietnam War.
The controversy centers on Tennessee State Route 386 in Sumner County, northeast of Nashville. The highway has been officially designated as Vietnam Veterans Boulevard since 1987, honoring the 25 Sumner County residents who died during the Vietnam War. In 2012, additional memorial signs listing the names of those fallen service members were installed along the route.
