2019 Annual Report

2019 | ANNUAL REPORT

IN 2019, VVMF CONTINUED

its mission to honor all those who served in Vietnam and educate current generations about the impact of the Vietnam War on our country.

We hosted nearly five million visitors at The Wall in D.C. and another 300,000 at The Wall That Heals mobile exhibit.

As more and more of our visitors were born after the war – and even after The Wall was built – it’s important to provide context around the Memorial and we are focusing on in-person interaction with visitors to The Wall and The Wall That Heals. We added a part-time Tour Guide to the staff to engage directly with visitors at The Wall in D.C. and we provided guided tours to nearly 15,000 students at The Wall That Heals in 2019.

For those who can’t visit, we are bringing the experience of The Wall to them through the latest technology.

We relaunched our website, VVMF.org, in May with an expanded education section including a timeline of the Vietnam era and topic pages on subjects such as POW/MIA, Women on The Wall, Chaplains on The Wall, and more.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of dozens of active volunteers, the Wall of Faces needs just under 500 photos to be complete! Our mobile app is upgraded regularly to provide more educational content and our Virtual Tour is another way to explore the Vietnam Veterans Memorial site from home.

At our Memorial Day ceremony, we heard from two Gold Star daughters about what is was like to lose their father in the Vietnam War. Stories such as theirs are why we continue to do what we do in making sure that their loved ones are never forgotten. In June, we honored 534 Vietnam veterans – our largest honoree group in history - whose lives were cut short as a result of their service at our annual In

Memory ceremony which drew nearly 3,000 attendees. It was our privilege to host a 50th reunion of the Fox Force Reconnaissance Platoon on National Vietnam War Veterans Day and hear about their memories of those they lost in the war and since. On POW/MIA Recognition Day, we once again led a candlelight remembrance at The Wall to honor America’s missing service members and their families.

All of these activities were possible ONLY because of your generous support.

On the grounds of the memorial site in D.C., we continued with our long-term care and preservation efforts.

We dedicated a new, more prominent In Memory plaque in May and continued with our regular maintenance on both the plaque and the Three Servicemen Statue from our Object Conservator throughout the year. On The Wall, we updated the status symbols for nine service members who were repatriated the year prior.

After four years of effort, VVMF completed an exhaustive audit of the 58,276 service members honored on The Wall.

We accounted for errors, additions, and duplications over the years to ensure our records are as accurate as humanly possible. As a result, we also were able to create the first ever completely electronic file of every name along with panel, line, and position locations.

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 incredible 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.

OUR MISSION THE MISSION OF THE VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL FUND IS TO H O N O R A N D P R E S E RV E T H E L E G A C Y O F S E RV I C E A N D E D U C AT E A L L G E N E R AT I O N S A B O U T T H E I M P A C T O F T H E V I E T N A M WA R .

VVMF MADE A PROMISE when The Wall was built - the promise to never forget those

who gave all in the Vietnam War. Our 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.

• Memorial Day and Veterans Day are the days our nation sets aside to honor service and sacrifice and VVMF hosts thousands of attendees at our annual Observances at The Wall each year. On Veterans Day 2018, we commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Vietnam Women’s Memorial. On Memorial Day 2019, two Gold Star daughters shared their personal stories of what it was like to lose their father during the Vietnam War. • We commemorated National Vietnam War Veterans Day at The Wall by hosting a 50th anniversary reunion of members of the Fox Force reconnaissance platoon.

• In June 2019, we held our annual In Memory ceremony and honored 534 Vietnam veterans – a record number for any one year - whose lives were cut short as a result of their service after they returned home.

The following day, more than 3,000 roses were laid at the base of the Memorial to honor fathers, and those that never had the chance to become fathers, on Father’s Day. • In September, we held a candlelight remembrance at The Wall on National POW/MIA Recognition Day to honor our missing service members and their families.

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

VVMF FY 2019 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. Nearly five million people visited The Wall in Washington, D.C. in 2019 and VVMF strives to provide each visitor with the best experience possible.

• Each spring, VVMF receives updates from the Department of Defense on service members who have been repatriated the year prior and VVMF manages the process to change their symbols on The Wall.

In 2019, nine status symbols were changed on The Wall to reflect the nine service members repatriated in 2018.

• On Memorial Day 2019, we dedicated a new and improved In Memory plaque that is raised and more prominent. 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.

• VVMF’s Wall of Faces includes more than 57,000 photos of service members found by volunteers across the country. 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 changes to the Memorial and provide for the preservation of the Memorial site for generations to come.

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.

• Along with our three quarter-scale Wall replica and mobile Education Center, a new replica In Memory plaque was unveiled as part of the traveling exhibit in 2019.

• In 2019, The Wall That Heals visited 34 communities in 22 states to spread The Wall’s healing legacy to more than 300,000 visitors. Guided tours of the exhibit were provided to nearly 15,000 students.

• 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 2019 tour.

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

VVMF FY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

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.

In the last year, focusing on technology and in-person teaching opportunities, VVMF:

• Launched a new VVMF.org website with an expanded education section including a timeline of the Vietnam era and topic pages on subjects such as POW/MIA, Women on The Wall, and Chaplains on The Wall.

• Completed digital education programs for more than 800 students, including 175 adult learners. These programs run all over the country including high schools in New Jersey, middle schools in New York, and senior centers in Ohio.

• Presented six professional development sessions on the Vietnam era to educators with Prince William County (VA), National History Day, First Division Museum, and the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation.

• Added a part-time Tour Guide position at The Wall in Washington, D.C. to give an overview and history of the Memorial to visitors.

• Partnered with schools and teachers in Prince William County, Virginia to teach more than 1,800 students about service members on The Wall and the history of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial through our Traveling Trunk program.

• Updated our mobile tour app to give those who can’t make it to Washington a chance to virtually visit and learn about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and those inscribed on it.

• Grew VVMF’s international teacher network to more than 700 teachers.

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