MEMORIAL MAINTENANCE EXCEEDS VISITOR EXPECTATIONS

VVMF is proud to make the experience of visiting The Wall the best it can be through its ROSES LAID IN HONOR OF many site preservation and maintenance efforts.

FALLEN DADS VVMF takes an active role concerning the physical needs of The Wall, The Three Servicemen Statue and flagpole, and the rest of the three-acre site on which the Vietnam Veterans Memorial rests. Services provided by VVMF include insuring The Wall against damages, providing copies of the Directory of Names to assist visitors on-site, as well as regular Wall cleaning and maintenance.

2012 Annual Report 37 ABOUT VVMF AND THE EDUCATION CENTER AT THE WALL

Established in 1979, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. (The Wall), promoting healing, and educating about the impact of the Vietnam War.

The Education Center at The Wall is the place on the National Mall where our military heroes’ stories and sacrifices will never be forgotten. It is a multimillion-dollar, state-of-the-art visitor’s center and learning facility to help people better understand the profound impact the Vietnam War had on their friends and family members, their home towns, and the nation.

The Education Center will feature the faces and stories of the 58,282 men and women on The Wall and will forever honor those who fell in Vietnam, those who fought and returned, as well as the friends and families of all who served.

It’s time to complete the mission.
