Most of the monuments and memorial take on a different vibe as the sun goes down. For most the white some become whiter but for the Vietnam Memorial the darker skies bring out the darkness of the stone. Make sure you find the soldiers and nurse memorials around the Vietnam one. Pay attention to the market next to the name: diamonds and crosses. If you feel ambitious find my dad - James “Doc” Loy.

You never really realize how many casualties war brings until you visit places like these. It's a beautiful park, with luscious green grass, meaningful statues, and most of all, it's a fitting place to remember the people who died. Our tour guide showed us the name of a man he knew on the wall. It's a lovely place to think.

I was able to make my way from Spokane Washington to Washington DC in a car with my 82-year-old Air Force veteran father, Vietnam vet and was able to get him to the wall something he was very hesitant on doing. Being there was the most surreal thing I've ever seen, he enjoyed it because it brought back memories but it also gave him some closure on it. He was able to see one gentleman on the wall he wasn't able to actually walk to it but I was able to take a picture of it and find him in the directory. It was a bucket list moment for sure seeing everything even though it was 100° + 65% humidity it was well worth the trip and everything going along with it. What are veterans faced during that time period was very very emotionally charged there was not a dry eye on that whole walk past that wall It was once in a lifetime.

Beautiful memorial! When I was here there was a veteran giving information which gave me the chills as u hear stories that are not from movies or books but real first hand stories! The sculpture is really realistic! The female medic sculpture is also worth visiting and is a few meters right next to it!

Walking to the Vietnam Memorial, i could feel this overwhelming rush of emotion. Unfortunately my father had passed away before him and I could see it together. While I was there, a woman had walked up to two gentlemen who can hell someone find someone on the wall. She had told them there was a soldier missing in action from her hometown. And could they help her locate him. Because those who came here before could not find him. They looked in their book and told her he is definitely on the wall. She said where? They told just turn around. And pointed here he is. It was an awesome thing to see.
