The Vietnam Wall Memorial
The Vietnam Wall Memorial is located in Washington D.C. and was built in 1989. The designer of the Vietnam Wall Memorial is Maya Yin Lin. The Vietnam Wall Memorial remembers the veterans who fought in the Vietnam War. There are 58,260 names on the Wall. When a diamond is beside the name it means their body was recovered. If a cross is beside their name it means they are missing in action.
