The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is 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 Vietnam Veterans Memorial (The Wall-USA) is an on-line Vietnam War memorial. It was started in 1996 by the veteran Alan Oskvarek who became disabled in the Vietnam War. It is now run by unpaid volunteers of the 4th Battalion 9th Infantry Regiment Manchu (Vietnam) Association on a not-for-profit basis, and is supported by voluntary contributions. It uses the U.S.A. government's official database. The website has a search facility for names on the granite panels on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington DC, USA. In 2006 the website reported at total of over 65,000 remembrances and photographs.
The Vietnam News Agency (VNA), a governmental agency, is the official state news provider of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
As the only news agency of the whole country, the state-run VNA is responsible for publishing official information and documents of the party and state, providing information in service of the party leadership and state management, while collecting and providing news via various forms to the mass media agencies, the public and readers of all kinds, both at home and abroad.
The VNA is headquartered at 5 Lý Thường Kiệt Street, Hanoi, in the National News Centre. The organisation’s southern and central representative offices are located at 120 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai Street, Hồ Chí Minh City, and 28 Lê Thánh Tông Street, Đà Nẵng
.
History
The VNA is a media complex consisting of 32 affiliates, including news units (five editorial departments and two source news centres), various publication and press bodies (one publishing house and nine newspapers), and multi-media units (a television channel and e-portal), together with five news support centres and two printing, trade and services companies.
On this Veterans Day, NBC News’ Harry Smith shares the story of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which was first dedicated 40 years ago this Sunday. The wall was once as controversial as the war itself.

Ceremony marks 40th anniversary of Vietnam Veterans Memorial groundbreaking
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is among one of the most visited in D.C. today. At its inception, many veterans’ groups were opposed to the design, which lacked
elements that traditionally were seen as a fitting memorial tribute. The black granite walls, designed by then 21-year-old Maya Lin, a Yale architecture student, hold names of more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing.
