Whereas the Memorial honors the more than 3,000,000 men and women who served in 
        the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War;
Whereas the Memorial has served as a powerful force for national healing;
Whereas over four million people visit the Memorial each year to pay tribute to 
        lost loved ones and remember the sacrifice of those who served the
