The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, as many may know, is a tribute to those who served in the United States Armed Forces in the Vietnam War, located on the National Mall in Washington DC. While opinion is divided about whether we should have even gone to fight in Vietnam at all, the conflict had a human toll in lives that were cut short by war. The memorial was designed by Maya Lin in 1981, and dedicated on November 13, 1982. The memorial’s design consists of two gabbro walls embedded in the ground, with one wall pointing towards the Washington Monument, and the other pointing towards the Lincoln Memorial. Etched in the wall are the names of servicemembers who either died in the war or were missing in action.
