越战纪念碑很特别,是一堵V形的大理石墙,我觉得称它为越战纪念墙更贴切。因为一般的纪念碑通常会是一块大石头,呈矩形,上面刻上纪念性的文字,而越战纪念碑让人们看到的是一面刻满了越战中阵亡美军将士名字的纪念墙。抛开越战本身的是非评说,这座纪念碑还是能够让人震撼,启示人们战争的残酷,生命的宝贵,和平的重要。

越战纪念碑看起来很震撼,大理石碑上镌刻着每一位在越南战场上阵亡的美国军人的名字、出生地和年龄等,昭示着是战争夺去了这些军人的生命,人类不应该有战争!据说这个纪念碑是华裔设计的,很有想象力。

从林肯纪念堂出来走进一片小树林就可以看到很大的一片黑色的越战纪念碑,纯黑色花岗岩显得纪念碑十分庄严肃穆,站在面前觉得肃然起敬,上面密密麻麻刻着牺牲的士兵名字,听说设计者还是一名美籍华裔的中国人。

越战老兵纪念碑让人想起来那段历史,还让人能够逐一念出阵亡烈士的姓名,是个很庄严的场所。整体规模并不大,和朝鲜战争纪念雕塑的位置是对称的,都挺值得转转的。

林肯纪念堂的左侧,一组3枚美国大兵的雕像。越战对很多美国军人都是终身挥之不去的阴影,在丛林和地雷中穿梭,也在美国历史上有很高的地位,各地都能看到各种形式的越战纪念。

阳光照射在镶嵌着人名的漆黑的墙壁,令墙壁放射出闪闪的光,真是让人哀叹却又美丽,简直就是审美的体验。这里是众多位于林肯纪念碑区域里的其中一座,必看。

这里让人倍感触动,是为纪念在越战中服役的美国士兵而修建。从幸存者送的花和手写的礼物可看出哪怕是今日伤害仍然存在。

这是华盛顿纪念碑的水平位置。孤立在众多的纪念碑之中,它让你冷到停止思考。刻在石板上的成堆的名字会激起你对于无用战争的愤怒与不安,也会激发你对于那些无名烈士的感恩。

导游说建这个的时候考虑到了4个元素,反正我印象最深的就是它最中心的位置分别是最早丧命和最晚丧命的死难者,而意图是说他们这样汇聚在一起,像一个圆环一样。然后当日我发现还不少人去祭奠的,甚是悲凉。

宪法公园的小树林里的越战纪念碑,用来纪念越战时期战死的美国士兵和将官。越战士兵的雕像林肯纪念堂及倒映池和国会大厦、林肯纪念碑建在同一条线上,从这个角度看很美的说。

设计者林璎和林徽因来自同一家族。越战纪念碑是她二十多岁的作品,也是极简主义建筑的代表作之一。找一个晴天,在黄昏时分,慢慢走下甬道,看到自己的鲜活的脸和那些已经逝去的名字映在一起。甬道底端,两页纪念碑交汇的地方,被夕阳照亮的华盛顿纪念碑会出现在反射景物的尽头。一面是光荣,光明和希望,一面是战争,死亡和悼念。一座看似简单的,只是把阵亡将士名单刻在光滑如镜的黑色大理石上的墙壁,却让人开始思考战争、和平、索取与创伤的分量。

This memorial, unlike so many others, doesn't have the names of battlefields or generals, what is does have are the names of the brave servicemen and women who gave their lives for this country. The black marble panels are inscribed with the names in cronological order are in years that the US was in Viet Nam.

It was the first day where the temps where over 50 so I took a long walk one night to visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Moving experience and the only note I will give, is this, go at night. The Mall is safe and the Memorial is surreal at night. Less people also.

I liked this memorial- we went on a nice sunny day; luckily we had a tour where they explained the story of the memorial and its incredibly moving. Make sure to enjoy the moment.

A very powerful monument, especially to those of us who spent time in Nam. 'Simple pieces of Black Granite, with names, dug into the ground', as I heard one visitor say. True, but the impact of the names, what they did and what they died for, provides an overpowering statement. To see all the gifts that are left by visitors (usually family or close friends) reflects the impact of this memorial, and shows that these men are not forgotten. I have many friends names on this wall, the reason I visit whenever I am in the area. I like to visit late at night, when few people are there, and it is quiet, peaceful and solemn. I can sit and reflect on the past in peace, and I swear, watch and speak with the spirits of my comrades and friends. May these men rest in peace with God, and NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
