Nice tribute to the fallen of the Vietnam War. Handicap accessible. Free bus line is available around the National Mall with a stop right here. I didn't see a public bathroom here, but there is one near the Washington Monument. It is 246 feet long. It was constructed in 1982 by the Architect Maya Lin. Interesting enough there is another identical wall that is slightly smaller in FT. Myers Florida. Both are beautiful.

Fantastic place to visit with whole family to learn our history! Been here many times and have great respect for these men! They played a major part in defending our freedom!

The most somber memorial by far. While many of the monuments and memorials felt like places for the public to enjoy, this one was accompanied by a stark silence, and a still very palpable pain. Lot's of very interesting history behind the design of the memorial, I recommend you to speak with anyone educated on the subject.

On a recent visit to the Wall, touring students placed thank-you notes and letters of appreciation to the soldiers. Many of them brought a tear to my eye. Take in the magnitude of the wall and spend a moment honoring the brave men who gave up their lives. Don't miss this incredible monument. Even as a Canadian walking by this wall was extremely emotional. I was a teenager during the time of the was and knew people who had gone. Also met many after they returned. The number of names is astounding and shows how unnecessary it a) was.

What a heart-breaking memorial dedicated to our fallen Vietnam war heroes. Seeing all the names on the wall makes you feel appreciative of the sacrifices our fellow Americans had to endure for our freedom. My grandpa's best friend died in the Vietnam war from a north Vietnamese sniper when he was just 20 years old. When I was there, I etched his name on a piece of paper and handed it to my grandpa for something he can hold onto and remember him for. There are nearby small park benches if you don't want to visit the wall and just standby and the memorial is always clean.
