In fact, for this kind of serious place (attraction). Personally, I prefer not to do too many video recordings, or even not to take pictures at all. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial are completely different concepts. The atmosphere here is relatively more solemn. There are many names left on the wall. It's also because I feel that I can't do too much disrespectful behavior. I can only hope that there will be no more wars in the future! The memorial after death is not as good as living, how do these people feel. Just satisfy modern people. And too many people don't learn from the past. It's really sad!
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a U.S. national memorial in Washington, D.C., honoring service members of the U.S. armed forces who served in the Vietnam War. The two-acre (8,100 m2) site is dominated by two black granite walls engraved with the names of those service members who died or remain missing as a result of their service in Vietnam and South East Asia during the war. The Wall, completed in 1982, has since been supplemented with the statue The Three Soldiers in 1984 and the Vietnam Women's Memorial in 1993.
The memorial is in Constitution Gardens, adjacent to the National Mall and just northeast of the Lincoln Memorial. It is maintained by the National Park Service and receives around three million visitors each year. The Memorial Wall was designed by American architect Maya Lin. In 2007, it was ranked tenth on the "List of America's Favorite Architecture" by the American Institute of Architects. As a national memorial, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
One wall points to the Washington Monument, the other to the Lincoln Memorial, meeting at an angle of 125° 12′. Each wall has 72 panels, 70 listing names (numbered 1E through 70E and 70W through 1W), and two very small blank panels at the extremities.A pathway for visitors extends along the base of the Wall.
