The black granite memorial wall was dedicated on the National Mall. Its engraved names made individual U.S. military deaths visible in public space, while the design’s initially disputed reception shaped later efforts to add more conventional figurative sculpture. Vietnamese civilian losses and Vietnamese combatants are not represented by names on the wall.
