For 23 years, the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall has traveled throughout our country to make the Wall experience real for those who had not had the opportunity to see the original Vietnam Wall in Washington D.C. And like the Wall in Washington, more than 58,000 names of patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country are etched on it.
The Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall was permanently installed in 2014 on our grounds. In 2024, the wall was refaced in granite, ensuring the walls permanency. Flanking panels were added to document the once-traveling wall’s history and the experiences of our Vietnam Veterans.
The Vietnam Memorial Plaza is located alongside Heritage Walk – a walkway where thousands of pavers have been dedicated to honor America’s brave veterans and patriots. The plaza features the Wall as well as three additional memorials to honor Vietnam veterans and their families.
On March 2, 2014, thousands of motorcyclists and supporters escorted the Wall to the museum. Click the video below to learn more.

About the Wall
The 8-foot-high, 240-foot-long replica has a black, faux-granite reflective surface inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 servicemen and women who died or are missing in Vietnam. When visitors look at the names on the Wall, they see their reflection, too, which is meant to symbolically bring together the past and present, and to connect faces with names.
