Aloft on its pedestal is the most recognized helicopter type in the world – the Bell UH-1, better known as the "Huey." Thousands of lives were literally saved because of the dependability of the Huey and bravery of her crews. It stands as a humanitarian symbol that brought compassion and lifesaving during this time in our history.

The center plaza of the park forms the "Shou" symbol meaning "long life" or "longevity" in Asian culture. In the middle of the "Shou" symbol, as on the side of the Huey, is a red cross which is the Western symbol for medical attention or mercy. The Red Cross sign often indicates helicopter-landing pads for life-flight helicopters. Here, it marks the landing pad for the suspended Huey in its approach landing formation.
