This is such a powerful symbol of service and sacrifice.
Today, March 29th, is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. honoring all men and women who served in our Armed Forces between November 1, 1955 and May 15, 1975.
Almost 58,000 names are engraved on this wall, representing those who gave their lives for our country. In total, more than 9 million Americans served during this period, and over 6 million of these veterans are still alive today.
Each of them answered when their nation called. And today, we honor every single one of them.
