Vietnam Veterans Memorial: Moving memorial for the fallen in the capital
Built in honor of those who died in the Vietnam War or are still considered missing, the Memorial's famous walls are its most well-known feature; over 58,000 names are typeset onto smooth, black granite, allowing friends and family the opportunity to 'rub' the names onto paper with a pencil. The reflective quality of the gently sloping stone is deliberate, meant to inspire reflection (so to speak).
