The official name is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It is not a memorial to war, but rather a memorial to those who went to fight the war. The first Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the US was a small one erected in New York City in 1968. The National Vietnam Veterans Memorial was built in 1979 at Angel Fire, New Mexico. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC, was built in 1982. The US National Park Service has the responsibility to maintain the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and does so with tax dollars.

During the '70's, an era when EVERYBODY wanted to forget the war...Viet Vet Jan Scruggs, formerly an infantryman in Vietnam, wanted the United States to "Remember" the men who died in Vietnam; since no one else wanted to.So he gathered other Vietnam Vets, and lobbied Congress for a plot of land to place a monument. They then gathered PRIVATE donations. With the land & the funding, they ran a design competition-which resulted in one of the most arresting and compelling memorials in Washington DC. The wall was built & dedicated in 1982.According to the National Parks Service:Deliberately setting aside the controversies of the war, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial honors the men and women who served when their Nation called upon them. The designer, Maya Lin, felt that "the politics had eclipsed the veterans, their service and their lives." She kept the design elegantly simple to "allow everyone to respond and remember.The memorial's construction and related issues have been the source of controversies, some of which have resulted in additions to the memorial complex. The memorial currently consists of three separate parts: the Three Soldiers statue, the Vietnam Women's Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, which is the best-known part of the memorial.
