Description

The Vietnam Memorial is a tribute to the American Soldiers who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. This sunken black granite monument was not well recieved when it was originally proposed as many people felt that it would be a dark hole in the capitol mall and would not honor the dead. However, it is one of the most powerful and moving monuments in Washington D.C. Well worth the visit and especially powerful at night.
