The awesome, soul-searching aura of the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial serves as the theme of this 1994 commemorative silver dollar. Released by the U.S. Mint to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the memorial in Washington, D.C., the design is a moving image of an outstretched hand touching the wall with several names clearly visible. In the background, the Washington Monument stands in somber reverence to the lives sacrificed in the divisive conflict of the 1960s and ’70s. America is only now, more than 30 years after the last troops pulled out of Vietnam, beginning to realize, respect and honor the valor and heroism Vietnam veterans exhibited in the conflict.
