1982: The Vietnam War Memorial Wall

On this day in 1982, the Vietnam War Memorial Wall went up in Washington DC.   It was a tribute to the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict.  The names of the men are arranged in order of death.

It is an amazing place to visit, specially for those who remember that very controversial war.

My favorite book about the Vietnam War was written by President Nixon in 1983 after leaving office.
