The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC is made of granite. Maya Lin, the designer, chose a very special granite that is found only in Bangalore, India for its special properties. The granite is black. It has a very fine grain so when the names were etched into it, the edges of the letters would not be ragged. It is an extremely hard granite, so it will last hundreds of years and can be polished to a very reflective finish, to reflect the surroundings and visitors.
The Vietnam government claimed that about 400,000 Vietnamese were killed by America in Vietnam.
