The idea for a memorial dedicated to Vietnam veterans originated from a group of veterans themselves, particularly inspired by the experiences of those who served in the Vietnam War and the lack of recognition they received. In 1979, Vietnam veteran Jan Scruggs spearheaded the initiative, advocating for a memorial to honor the sacrifices of fallen soldiers. His efforts led to the establishment of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which was designed by architect Maya Lin and officially dedicated in 1982.
The website, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall gives that information.
