VVMF 2021 Annual Report by Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund

2021 | ANNUAL REPORT

THIS PAST YEAR BEGAN

with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to impact people and events across the country. We started the year with virtual events for Veterans Day and National Vietnam War Veterans Day, but we were able to finally get back out on the National Mall for an in-person ceremony by Memorial Day.

While the last year was a challenge, we learned a lot about what we could do virtually as we looked for innovative ways to connect with our supporters and continue our mission.

We launched two new efforts in March of 2021. As part of our education efforts, we launched a podcast, Echoes of the Vietnam War, which tells stories of service and sacrifice and illustrates the continuing impact of the Vietnam War and how it echoes across generations. Our Vietnam Era Veteran online registry also launched in March and acts as a tool for all Vietnam and Vietnam era veterans to connect with each other. Veterans can share and preserve their stories through their registry pages while connecting themselves with those on The Wall and in the In Memory Honor Roll.

In April, we were able to get back out on the road with The Wall That Heals and finally show

off our updated mobile Education Center exhibit items that few visitors were able to see in 2020.

We hosted our first-ever PTSD Awareness Day event on June 27th with the laying of more than 1,400 teal candles on the Memorial site in Washington, D.C. That was followed by our second Agent Orange Awareness Day event in August. We have been pleased with the success of these new awareness efforts to make the general public more aware of the continuing toll of the Vietnam War.

Our hardworking volunteers continued to find those elusive final photos all throughout the year to try and complete our Wall of Faces. And finally – after multiple rescheduled dates - we were able to honor both our 2020 and 2021 In Memory honorees in the Fall of 2021.

On the grounds of the Memorial site in D.C., we continued with our long-term care and preservation efforts including our regular maintenance on both the plaque and the Three Servicemen Statue from our Object Conservator throughout the year. We completed a stone inspection and analysis on The Wall that only occurs every 10 years.

Sadly, we lost one of our long-time board members in 2021. John Dibble was the chairman of the Board of VVMF for many years until his passing in March. He provided leadership among his peer Vietnam veterans, and worked closely with the staff to deliver the very best programs for those who deserve so much. He is missed but remembered, as VVMF remembers all our Vietnam veterans.

VVMF remains committed to the original promise we made when The Wall was built in 1982 – the promise to never forget. In these pages, you’ll learn more about some of the meaningful work that VVMF was able to do over the past year with your support. We look forward to what we can do together in the future to ensure that our nation’s Vietnam veterans will always be remembered for generations to come. All of these activities were possible ONLY because of your generous support.

OUR MISSION

4 | VVMF FY 2021 ANNUAL REPORT

THE MISSION OF THE VIETNAM

VETERANS MEMORIAL FUND IS TO HONOR AND PRESERVE THE LEGACY OF SERVICE AND EDUCATE ALL GENERATIONS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE VIETNAM WAR.

VVMF’S WORK HONORS ALL

those who served in Vietnam and preserves the legacies of those who died in the Vietnam War and those who died after the war ended. We work hard every day to keep the promise that The Wall was built on - the promise to never forget those who served and sacrificed in the Vietnam War. By mid-2021 – we were able to get back to hosting our traditional in-person events and we continued to find innovative ways to honor our nation’s Vietnam veterans both in-person and virtually.

• We commemorated Veterans Day 2020 and National Vietnam War Veterans Day 2021 with virtual events but we were able to get back to The Wall by Memorial Day 2021 for our first in-person ceremony post-pandemic.

• Our In Memory program had a record number of 591 honorees for 2020 and we were finally able to honor them at The Wall in the fall of 2021, along with our 361 honorees for 2021. We also continued with our virtual reading of all honoree names by producing and sharing our In Memory Honor Roll Call of all those honored through In Memory from 1993-2020.

• On Father’s Day, we laid nearly 3,000 roses at the Memorial site to honor the fathers who served in Vietnam and those who never had the chance to become fathers.

• On June 27th, we held our first-ever PTSD Awareness Day event at The Wall and laid nearly 1,800 teal candles to bring awareness to the effects of PTSD in those who served in Vietnam.

• On August 10th, we held our second Agent Orange Awareness Day and laid more than 1,700 candles at the Memorial site, bringing awareness of the continuing toll of the Vietnam War and encouraging others to do the same in their community.

All of these ceremonies and events are made possible through the support of our generous donors.

HONOR

6 | VVMF FY 2021 ANNUAL REPORT

IT IS VVMF’S PRIVILEGE TO MANAGE

the long-term care and preservation of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial site and preserve the legacies of the more than 58,000 service members inscribed on The Wall. Visitors were back in 2021 post-pandemic and VVMF strived to provide each visitor with the best experience possible.

Each spring, VVMF receives updates from the Department of Defense on service members who should be added to The Wall as well as those service members who have been repatriated the year prior. VVMF works with the engravers and manages the process to add names and change symbols on The Wall. In 2021, two names were added to The Wall. Two status symbols were changed on The Wall to reflect the two service members repatriated in 2020. A stone inspection and analysis was conducted to look for cracks in the panels of The Wall. This preservation effort is done every 10 years by a geologist to inspect the well-being of The Wall’s stone veneer.

VVMF ensures that the Three Servicemen Statue and In Memory plaque look their best by having an Object Conservator attend to them throughout the year. The care of the lawn around the Memorial and the printing of new directories are also part of VVMF’s care and preservation efforts for the site.

Online, VVMF launched a registry for all Vietnam and Vietnam era veterans to connect with each other. Veterans can share and preserve their stories through the registry while connecting themselves with those on The Wall and in VVMF’s In Memory program.

VVMF’s Wall of Faces includes more than 58,000 photos of service members. Through the tireless effort of volunteers across the country, only a handful of service members were without at least one photo by the year’s end. Including the faces and the remembrances for each service member preserves their legacy online for more than a million online visitors to VVMF.org each year.

Through the support of our generous donors, VVMF can facilitate and fund these care and preservation efforts at the Memorial site and online.

THE WALL THAT HEALS EXHIBIT ALLOWS VVMF

to reach into communities across America to honor all those who served in Vietnam and educate younger generations about the impact of the Vietnam War. It gives Vietnam veterans and their families who may not have a chance to travel to Washington, D.C. an opportunity to visit The Wall.

Due to the pandemic, the 2020 The Wall That Heals tour was cut short and the exhibit was only able to visit five communities, so we were very pleased to get back on the road in 2021.

The 2021 The Wall That Heals tour had VVMF on the road for more than 13,000 miles and visiting 26 communities. More than 3,000 vehicles escorted us into those communities, and we were able to spread The Wall’s healing legacy to nearly 200,000 visitors.

We continued our partnership with the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) to provide trucking companies and drivers to “Haul The Wall” from community to community. A special thanks to USAA as the presenting sponsor for the 2021 tour.

The Wall That Heals runs on support from our generous corporate sponsors and individual donors.

KEEPING

THE PROMISE TO “NEVER FORGET”

puts education efforts at the forefront of VVMF’s mission. We must educate current generations on the lasting impact of the Vietnam War to ensure that those who served and sacrificed in Vietnam are never forgotten.

VVMF’s education efforts in 2021 were a mix of in-person and virtual efforts with many students still learning online, it provided a unique opportunity for talking with students from around the country. Our education director presented to more than 800 elementary, middle, and high school students.

VVMF’s educational outreach in 2021 included:

• Launched the Echoes of the Vietnam War podcast. Even after 50 years, the impact of the Vietnam War echoes across generations. The podcast explores stories of service and sacrifice from people who are affected – veterans, their families, and others who add perspective to those experiences. Nearly 20 episodes were distributed in 2021 and have been downloaded more than 25,000 times.

• Hosted nearly 4 million visitors at The Wall in Washington, D.C. including many veteran and student groups met by VVMF staff for tours and help with name rubbings. On the road with The Wall That Heals, guided tours of the educational exhibit were provided to more than 12,000 students in 2021.

• Hosted online educational presentations on the Vietnam War and The Wall for more than 500 adults at senior centers, libraries and universities across the country.

• Shared education content with more than 1,200 individuals on our Teaching the Vietnam War and Era Facebook page.

VVMF can continue and expand these educational efforts because of generous supporters across the country.
