What does The Vietnam Veterans Memorial consists of?

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC is made of granite. Maya Lin, the designer, chose a very special granite that is found only in Bangalore, India for its special properties. The granite is black. It has a very fine grain so when the names were etched into it, the edges of the letters would not be ragged. It is an extremely hard granite, so it will last hundreds of years and can be polished to a very reflective finish, to reflect the surroundings and visitors.

What makes the Vietnam war memorial unique?

Nearly all US war memorials were constructed with or for American pride (or National pride). America wanted to forget Vietnam; didn't want to talk about...called it a conflict...not a war...no one died there, it doesn't exist...don't say the words "Vietnam War" it doesn't exist, never did, never will. Think World War II, the GOOD WAR, the REAL WAR, make movies (too many to mention), print books...tons of comic books (SGT ROCK of Easy Company, The Haunted Tank, etc.), WWII is good...Vietnam is evil (doesn't exist/never did). WWII was glorious, good against evil...REMEMBER WWII! (Especially Pearl Harbor and D Day!). So, a Vietnam Vet had the memorial made WITHOUT the use of American taxpayer monies. His messege, "You can forget Vietnam if you want to, but you're not going to forget the 58,000 men that you sent there to die." So he put every single name of every single man (plus 8 women) on that wall...engraved in stone. So, forget Vietnam America (the wall originally meant), just remember the GOOD WAR (WWII)...but their names shall be engraved in stone!
