| Synopsis: |
Few issues in recent American history have been more divisive than the Vietnam War. Veterans of the war, as well as the families of those who didn't make it back, were forever changed by the toll this conflict took on them. Those Americans who answered their country's call to serve in the armed forces did not get the hero's welcome they deserved when they returned home. Instead, they found themselves shunned and harassed because they had fought in an unpopular war. The names of more than 58,200 Americans killed in Vietnam are carved on the black granite wall that stretches over two acres on the National Mall. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial represents a wound that is still fresh. The monument's symbolism is designed to help all those affected by the Vietnam War come to terms with our nation's past so they can focus on the future. |
