The wall is constructed from black granite imported from India. A "gash" is a long wound...a slash. Although "probably" never mentioned nor intended by the artist that created the memorial to represent a "gash", it none the less might be fitting that the wall is a black gash; the United States was wounded by the Viet War (as it had been wounded 100 years earlier in 1861).
