A design competition consisting of about 1,400 entries was initiated along with donations of approximately $5,000,000. An architectural student from Yale University won the competition and designed a wall made of black granite which rose from the ground and then back into it; engraved upon it are the names over 58,000 US servicemen and 8 women, who died in Vietnam.
