We went in the evening as the weather was hot. Can not understand that there was no effective lighting of the monument and memorial. Wanted to honour these people but was greatly disappointed.

The Vietnam Memorial is one of the first memorials that allows visitors to walk through history and physically touch the names of people who gave their lives during the Vietnam War. It is very moving to start at the earliest years of the war and...More

Fulfilled an item on my bucket list. Very emotional experience. With the docent I know understand the meaning and intent of the physical structure. At the center one stands below ground level similar to being buried

Wow! You hear about this wall all the time but seeing it and listening the the vets talk about it is something you can't just be told about you have to experience.

One of my favorite places to visit in D.C. Sooooooo moving! The mementos left by friends and family coupled with the sight of Vietnam veterans honoring and mourning their comrades really bring it to life!

This is such a haunting memorial. Come see it...it's close to everything in Washington DC. It's so many names!!

A very moving memorial for my generation. Easy access to finding names however, it would be a great addition if they would add looking by hometown.

A memorial to those who sacrificed their lives for liberty Must be seen both in daylight and at night. A tribute to a time of contention and dissent and patriotism .A very moving experience as you walk the wall.

Beyond moving! I live through that period in our history and it brought a tear to my eye and I'm not even in the military or lost a friend or family member in the war.

very moving and much bigger than I had anticipated--easy to located a name and look for it--so many names
