Washington DC: Vietnam Veterans' Memorial

Washington DC Vietnam Veterans Memorial Jul 15 (1)

After visiting the Arlington Cemetery, we crossed back over the Potomac River and returned to the National Mall to go to the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial. We visited two sections of it. The first is of a more traditional type - a sculpture of 3 soldiers.

The other section is a wall containing the names of those in the US armed forces who died in the conflict. It is made of a highly polished stone and almost has mirror like qualities.
