The Wall
No full textView of the east wall; Lin was still a student when her design was chosen from a competition of 142 entries for a memorial to commemorate those who fought and died in the War and to ease tensions the War had provoked among the American public, government leaders, and war veterans. The memorial consists of a large, reflective granite wall, lowered into the earth to symbolize a scar, and inscribed with the names of the dead. [The figurative sculpture 'Three Servicemen' by Frederick Hart was selected in 1982 and cast in 1984. It is located 150 feet away from the wall. The Vietnam Women's Memorial was dedicated in 1993. The sculpture, designed by Texas native Glenna Goodacre, depicts three uniformed women with a wounded soldier.] Source: Union List of Artist Names [online notes]; http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/ulan (accessed 2/8/2008
