Because of the negative public opinion about the Vietnam conflict, there was a need to bring focus back to the humanity of the war. A wall with the names of every casualty gave the war a human - and very costly - price. It caused people to recognize the casualties and those who fought in the war in spite of the political opinions about the war.
It also became a touchstone of appreciation for the nearly three million men and women who served in Vietnam to overcome the shame and rejection associated with that conflict.
America wanted to forget the war; at least one vet in particular wanted to ensure that America didn't forget the men that died there.
