Maya Lin’s design was two long black granite _________ that formed a V shape. On the shiny and smooth __________ of the wall are the __________ of more than 58,000 soldiers who died or went missing in the Vietnam War.
In 1980, a search began for an artist to design a special monument to honor the members of the military who died fighting in the Vietnam War. A contest was announced, and artists from coast to coast sent in designs. Read About Maya Lin
In the United States, the last Monday in May every year is Memorial Day. It’s a special day for us to remember those who died while serving our nation in the military and keeping us safe.
A Powerful Monument
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial opened in 1982. Visitors to the monument soon realized how powerful and special Maya Lin’s design was, and each year about 5 million people
With crayons and paper, make rubbings of di erent surfaces around your home. Place the paper over the surface, and use the side of the crayon to make each rubbing.
In 1984, a statue called Three Servicemen was added near the wall. The metal statue was designed by Frederick Hart and honors those who fought and returned from the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam Women’s Memorial, added in 1993, is a sculpture of three servicewomen caring for a wounded soldier. Artist Glenna Goodacre said that the soldier in the sculpture is saved by these brave women.
