Key Takeaway: The Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in Washington, D.C. was constructed from 1981-1943. This V-shaped monument is virtually cut into the earth and lists the more than 60,000 casualties of the Vietnam War. The structure was greatly influenced by the Minimalist movement and uses a heavily-reflective black granite surface that allows viewers to see their own reflections in the names of the veterans.
