vietnam memorial: a wall of healing, reflection and remembrance
Located in the National Mall, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial honors the men and women who sacrificed their lives during the divisive Vietnam War. A solemn place of healing for thousands of veterans and families, the 493-foot granite wall chronological lists more than 58,000 names of those who fell during the controversial conflict. The two-acre memorial is open day and night, and park rangers are present to assist visitors in finding specific names. More than a popular D.C. attraction, the Vietnam Memorial Wall offers a place for reflection, remembrance and national healing.
