Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Black granite wall engraved with the names of those service members who died as a result of their service in Vietnam and South East Asia during the war. 

Walls are made up of two 246-foot-9-inch (75.21 m) long black granite walls polished to a high finish. One wall points toward the Washington Monument, the other in the direction of the Lincoln Memorial.

There is a pathway along the base of the Wall where visitors may walk. The wall originally listed 57,939 names when it was dedicated in 1982, however other names have since been added and as of May 2018 there were 58,320 names.

The Memorial Wall was designed by American architect Maya Lin.
