Description
An account of the resource
This iconic memorial on the National Mall honors and remembers those who fought in and especially those who were lost in the US's most divisive conflict -- the Vietnam War. The simple design by young Yale student Maya Lin focuses upon the individual names of the 58,000 lost. The highly polished black granite walls are inscribed with the names in chronological order and radiate out towards the Lincoln and Washington Monuments. The names begin in the center at the highest point. The design met with some criticism and thus both a flag and statue of soldiers was added to the site. The panels reflect the visitor and bring the focus upon the names of those lost in the conflict. Today the site is one of the most visited sites on the National Mall and the many mementos left at the Memorial by visitors have spawned the creation of a Museum to display them. A womens memorial has also been added nearby to show the role women played in the conflict.
