• Vietnam Veterans Memorial
  In recognition to the men and women that served in America's divisive wars, Maya Lin decided to design this memorial. This extraordinary monument contains 58,249 names of both men and women that service in the US military. Presenting the veteran's names etched in a beautiful black granite, this wall preserves those who served in foreign wars from being eclipsed by the politics of the day. Apparently, the design was kept simple so that all could respond appropriately to their fallen soldiers. Paving the way to healing, this process continues even until today.
