-1. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a memorial dedicated to those who served and died in the war. The plot of land on which the Memorial is built occupies two acres in the Constitution Gardens. The legislation was signed by Jimmy Carter signed approving the plot, which took three years to build. The plan received over nine million dollars from private contributors. There were four criteria for the design: to be a reflection of that which it represents; to harmonize with its environment; to have the names of those who served; and imbue the public with no political message about the war itself.
