The names of four U.S. servicemembers were recently etched into the glossy black walls of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial alongside more than 58,000 of their fallen comrades. Designed by architect Maya Lin and built in 1982, the memorial consists of two black walls sunken into the ground. Jan C. Scruggs, founder and president of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, said adding the names completes the healing process for surviving friends and family members.
