The official name of the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. is the "Vietnam Veterans Memorial." It is also referred to as "the Wall." The figures of the servicemen by the Wall are called "The Three Servicemen." The memorial is different than most war memorials. It is not a memorial to the war but is a memorial to all who served in Vietnam, both dead and those still living.

Vietnam War
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall was erected to honor and commemorate the U.S. military personnel who lost their lives or went missing during the Vietnam War. Designed by architect Maya Lin and dedicated in 1982, the wall serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these individuals. Its reflective surface allows visitors to see their own images alongside the engraved names, fostering a personal connection and facilitating healing for veterans and their families. The memorial aims to acknowledge the profound impact of the war on American society and to promote remembrance and reconciliation.
