The Vietnam Memorial, dedicated on 29 June 1991, includes a marble representation of the country of Vietnam displayed in the center of a reflecting pool. Atop this marble monument is a bronze helmet, rifle, and pair of combat boots to honor fallen comrades. To the right of the pool is a list, engraved in marble, of the 106 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.
