This is a large memorial that should not leave you indifferent. Here, at a loss of sight, all the names of the Americans died during the Vietnam War (1955-1975).

The monument itself consists of three elements: a granite wall bearing the names of the American war of Vietnam's 58 249 victims (dead and missing), built by Maya Ying Lin in 1982 (controversial company under Reagan, who did not want construction of the monument); the statue of Three Servicemen (added in 1984) by Fredrick Hart; and Vietnam Women's Memorial (added in 1993), signed Glenna Goodacre.

It is, of course, a great place for many American families and the atmosphere is very solemn.

Parmi les multiple monuments visités à Washington, il est un des plus émouvants, avec tous ces noms gravés sur la pierre noir. Lors de notre passage il y avait plusieurs vétérans, cela ajoute à l'émotivité de l'endroit.

Le Monument aux anciens combattants du Vietnam est un ouvrage impressionant. Il consiste en un mur sur lequel le nom des combattants morts durand cette guerre sont inscrits. Le mur est de marbre tres poli ce qui fait que les visiteurs peuvent se voir eux-memes sur ce mur, y compris lorsqu'ils prennent en photo le nom de leur cher disparu. Le mur est fait de deux sections perpendiculaires et formant un angle droit. La terre s'enfonce et est au plus profond justement au niveau du point de l'angle...cela evoque un peu le coin d'un tapis comme si ce monument cherchait a balayer sous le tapis toute cette histoire. Comme le monument est si depouille, on a, plus tard, ajoute les statuts de 3 soldats installes a ce coin.

Washington regorge de monuments les plus disparates. Celui du Vietnam est discret, bien que vaste et comprenant plusieurs parties.
