Our Mission

To preserve the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, to promote healing and to educate about the impact of the Dear Friends:

Picture the Vietnam Veterans Memorial with its row after row of names. Now imagine, instead of names, there are photos of the thousands of men and women who died or remain missing as a result of the Vietnam War. And think how moving it would be to be able to learn more about the lives of those individuals.

Soon, you won’t have to imagine. When the Education Center at The Wall is completed, it will dis- play pictures of the more than 58,000 who died during the Vietnam War. It will tell their stories and share remembrances from family and friends. It will, in short, help us remember those we lost—not just as names on The Wall, but as people full of hopes and dreams and promise, whose lives were cut tragically short.

In 2010, VVMF began looking at all we do with an eye toward telling the stories of the people whose names are on The Wall. In our events at The Wall, we recall the people who did not come home from the war and how they touched our lives. This was especially poignant on Father’s Day,

Warren Kahle Warren when we helped Sons and Daughters in Touch commemorate its 20th anniversary, and hundreds of SDIT members came to The Wall to remember the fathers they lost in Vietnam.

When The Wall That Heals, VVMF’s traveling half-scale replica of The Wall, visits communities around the , we help them remember their local heroes. In 2010, we were amazed at the lengths to which host sites went to welcome The Wall and honor local veterans. And, of course, in our Information Tent, The Wall That Heals volunteers help veterans and friends find the names of loved ones on The Wall—even if the information they have is incomplete. In 2010, VVMF installed a scanner in the tent, helping us reach into communities to gather photos for the Education Center.

VVMF has developed new educational tools to personalize classroom lessons about the Vietnam War. We show schools how to reach out to local veterans to tell their stories, and we help teachers guide their students in a quest to gather the photos and stories of hometown heroes lost during the Vietnam War.

In 2010, VVMF strengthened our online outreach through our website and on Facebook to provide forums for family, friends and fellow veterans to honor and remember loved ones.

And, of course, we continue our efforts to raise awareness and support to build the Education Center at The Wall, the place where The Wall’s visitors—especially tomorrow’s future leaders—can learn about the Vietnam War and the unfulfilled promise of lives cut short.

As we tell the stories of the men and women on The Wall, we are fulfilling our mission of healing, education and remembrance in an exciting new way. As always, I am proud of VVMF’s achievements in the past year, and look forward to a future in which we continue to ensure that those who served and sacrificed are not forgotten. Thank you for your continued support in helping to make all of VVMF’s programs possible. I hope we can continue to count on you in the years ahead.

Sincerely,

Jan C. Scruggs Founder and President

Maintaining an Icon with a patina featuring the color palette originally chosen by the artist, was unveiled and rededicated in July.

When cracks in The Wall were detected in the fall of 2010, VVMF engaged the firm of Hager-Richter Geoscience to evaluate the new cracks, monitor existing ones and report back to VVMF with recommendations. Hager-Richter was first hired in 1986 to report on cracks in The Wall. Thankfully, the VVMF scientists confirmed that all of the cracks are hairline cracks that do not An important part of VVMF’s mission pose an immediate threat to The Wall, is ensuring the physical upkeep of the but VVMF will continue to monitor Memorial and its grounds.
