The Vietnam Veterans National Memorial is a moving, often heart-stoppingly beautiful national shrine. The memorial is
located at Angel Fire, New Mexico, in the picturesque Sangre de Cristo mountain range. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Angel Fire was
conceived and constructed by the family of Dr. Victor Westphall, whose son, David, was killed in a 1968 enemy ambush in Vietnam.
The structure's dramatic architectural design, soaring to a height of 50 feet, offers a compelling and inspiring statement
of gratitude to, and celebration of, the men and women who fought in Vietnam. As a place for personal reflection and inspiration, the memorial
is unrivaled.
