About The Wall: Vietnam Veteran's Memorial

The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial also know as 'The Wall,' is located in Washington D.C. Jan Scruggs, a Vietnam Vet, founded the Memorial and Maya Ying Lin was 21 in 1981 when her submission won the design competition for "The Wall." Any pictures that are respectful can be posted. There are over 58,000 veteran's names engraved on the black granite. Their names are arranged according to the date they died; alphabetical on their death date. A diamond shape after the veteran's name means body was recovered, a cross means the veteran's body was never recovered. If a MIA's body was recovered, the cross symbol could be changed to a diamond. A circle could be placed around the symbol if the veteran was found alive. In 1982 The Memorial Fund decided to add Frederick Hart's "Three Fighting Servicemen" and a flag pole. In 1993, the Vietnam Women's Memorial by Glenna Goodacre was added to represent the women who served in the Vietnam War.

The Three Soldiers

I might not agree with the reasons for a war; but if you can't stand behind our troups, stand in front of them. The reception vets had upon their return...should not be repeated.
