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.
