  • 225. Vietnam Veterans Memorial Washington, DC, US Maya Lin. 1982 CE Granite
    225. Vietnam Veterans Memorial Washington, D.C., U.S. Maya Lin. 1982 C.E. Granite (2 images) Video and article at Khan Academy a 2-acre (8,000 m²) national memorial in Washington, DC. It honors U.S. service members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War, service members who died in service in Vietnam/South East Asia, and those service members who were unaccounted for (Missing In Action) during the War Its construction and related issues have been the source of controversies, some of which have resulted in additions to the memorial complex. The memorial currently consists of three separate parts: the Three Servicemen Memorial, the Vietnam Women's Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, which is the best-known part of the memorial The Memorial Wall is made up of two 246 feet 9 inches (75.21 m) long gabbro (basalt/volcanic rock) walls, etched with the names of the servicemen being honored in panels of horizontal rows with regular typeface and spacing.[2][3] The walls are sunk into the ground, with the earth behind them. At the highest tip (the apex where they meet), they are 10.1 feet (3.1 m) high, and they taper to a height of 8 inches (20 cm) at their extremities. Symbolically, this is described as a "wound that is closed and healing." When a visitor looks upon the wall, his or her reflection can be seen simultaneously with the engraved names, which is meant to symbolically bring the past and present together. One wall points toward the Washington Monument, the other in the direction of the Lincoln Memorial, meeting at an angle of 125° 12′.

  • American Military Chaplains and the Vietnam War
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository CONFLICT AND COMPROMISE: AMERICAN MILITARY CHAPLAINS AND THE VIETNAM WAR by Jacqueline Earline Whitt A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Dr. Richard H. Kohn Dr. Yaakov Ariel Dr. Donald Mathews Dr. Jerma Jackson Dr. Alex Roland © 2008 Jacqueline Earline Whitt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JACQUELINE E. WHITT: Conflict and Compromise: American Military Chaplains and the Vietnam War (Under the direction of Richard H. Kohn) Military chaplains, serving alongside American servicemen and women, have lived and worked at the cultural and institutional intersections of religion and war. Understanding how chaplains experienced the Vietnam War—as military officers and as clergy—illuminates both the sympathies and tensions between faith and war. This dissertation examines chaplains’ experiences and reflections of the Vietnam War in order to track that war’s effects on chaplains personally and on the institutional chaplaincy. Chaplains acted as “cultural mediators” or links between religious and military cultures in situations that demanded explanation and reconciliation. Chaplains’ experiences highlighted the stress fracturing the nation as “Vietnam” came to represent a failure of both American foreign policy and a certain vision of American identity. This dissertation examines the impact of the Vietnam War on chaplains as individuals and on the institutional chaplaincy. The dissertation uses four types of primary sources: Chaplain Corps official records; first person accounts of Vietnam-era chaplains; oral interviews with chaplains; and publications of the mainstream media, the popular religious press, and denominational organizations.
