A Viet War vet (Jan) led the fight to build the VVM wall in DC. He was determined that the American people wouldn't forget the war as they were determined to do! America wanted to forget the Nam so bad that he was going to build a wall so they wouldn't forget, and build it with private funding.
So, even though Americans in general built the memorial, it was actually invented and pushed through to completion by the Viet Vets themselves. Another words the Viet Vets had to build their own memorial for their own veterans.
During that time period (the vast amount of) Americans hated Vietnam and everything it stood for...men, canines (war dogs), guns, flags, the name itself! Americans hated Vietnam so much they wouldn't even call it a war...it was a "conflict!" (Which had they done their homework...they would have known that they were also attacking their own American Civil War ancestors, as they too had fought an "un-declared war" in the 1860s). So yes...Vietnam War vets had to build their own memorial.
