A Powerful Remembrance
At first, public response to a proposed memorial for veterans of the Vietnam war was weak. Did Americans just want to forget the war? But Vietnam veteran Jan C. Scruggs clung to his dream of a proper memorial. In time, more than 650,000 U.S. citizens donated a total of $9 million to construct The Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This striking V-shaped structure in Washington, D.C. lists the names of our country's 58, 156 war casualties, and is a moving plea to help prevent unjust wars in the future.
