Why did the veterans leave letters and gifts on the Vietnam war wall?
I think it was mostly part of a personal healing process. This last "opportunity" to leave behind a letter or a "gift" in a meaningfully designated place was in some cases a form of honored remembrance, a "thank you," a way of saying goodbye, or just a token that "I was here to remember you." Many veterans returned from Vietnam with a mixture of feelings; pride, regret, guilt, honor, thankfulness, pain, joy upon returning home, but with a twinge of "guilt/sorrow" for those who didn't. To me, to leave a "gift" or some meaningful token at the memorial wall was to say "thank you" to those who helped us get through the experience and who made the ultimate sacrifice of mind, body, or life itself. We veterans who were fortunate enough to return home have a special bond with the others, we will always have special feelings for them, and we want to acknowledge this by visiting the wall and, perhaps, symbolically leaving a part of our being to be with them always.

Why do Vietnam veterans leave letters and gifts on the Vietnam war wall?
The names on the wall represent friends who we fought side-by-side with in combat. They were VERY close friends. Since the wall and the inscription of their names represent those friends, Vietnam veterans attempt to reach out or connect with those we lost by leaving mementos at the wall. It is like a family leaving flowers at the grave of a loved one, only a bit more personal.

How was the tradition of leaving gifts at the Vietnam memorial wall started?
The tradition of leaving gifts at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial began shortly after the wall's dedication in 1982. Visitors started to leave mementos, such as letters, photographs, and personal items, as a way to honor and remember the fallen soldiers. This practice evolved as people sought to express their grief, gratitude, and connection to their loved ones, creating a poignant and ongoing tribute to those who served. Over time, the National Park Service has recognized and preserved these items as part of the memorial's historical significance.
