Description:
|
NATIONAL MALL. Inscribed on the black granite walls are names of the 58,209 Americans missing or killed in the Vietnam conflict. The innovative, V-shaped memorial designed by Maya Lin is breathtaking and sobering, drawing crowds who look for the names of relatives or who simply take in the enormity of the war and its aftermath. Also see Frederick Hart's "Three Soldiers," a life-sized bronze sculpture of three young servicemen. |

| | Truly one of the most moving places I have been. I was overcome with emotion as the magnitude of loss became apparent. A very powerful place to visit. |
