Dreams Unfulfilled: Stories of the men and women on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Dreams Unfulfilled Stories of the men and women on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Author:Jan C. Scruggs Jan C. Scruggs is the founder and president of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. He conceived the idea of building the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, one of the most-visited memorials in Washington, D.C., as a tribute to the more than 58,000 dead, thousands of wounded and others who served during one of the longest wars in American history. More t... more »han 50 million people have visited the Memorial since its dedication in 1982. Scruggs was a wounded and decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, having served in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade of the U.S. Army. He felt a memorial would serve as a healing device for a different kind of wound - that inflicted on our national psyche by the long and controversial Asian war. Scruggs continues to lead VVMF as it enters a new phase in its mission to remember those who sacrificed in Vietnam: building the Education at The Wall. The Education Center will show the photos and tell the stories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War, as well as celebrate the values embodied by American service members in all of our nation's wars.« less
