  This is probably the most somber place in the Mall. It was very quiet here, out of respect and appreciation for all of the names on the wall.

I got a bit emotional here, but I would say this is absolutely the memorial you do not want to miss when you come here. Indescribable.

  Words cannot describe what an amazing place this is to visit. I rode across country from Los Angeles to DC to support veterans coming to this wall. It was one of the most moving and emotional moments of my life to see men and women who had served during Vietnam and other wars come together to that one place. The design is very interesting and below ground level. Truly a beautiful tribute to those who served.
