Echoes From The Mall
 
A Teachers' Guide to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial and other Memorials in Washington, D.C.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund produced this guide to enhance your visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which is comprised of The Wall, The Three Servicemen statue and the Vietnam Women's Memorial, as well as to the Korean War Veterans Memorial and other points of interest on the National Mall.

The guide contains a variety of activities to use before, during and after your visit. To help you in selecting activities, we have included a "grade guide" with each activity. For teachers who are unable to visit Washington, D.C. with their students, this guide provides a framework for exploring traveling replicas like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund's Traveling Wall, known as The Wall That Heals.

This guide was written by Rima Shaffer, Ph.D. and former Memorial Fund Director of Education Tricia Edwards. We are grateful for the assistance of Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Close Up Foundation, Disabled American Veterans, National History Day, National Park Service, Veterans Education Project, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, Women In Military Service For America and members of the Memorial Fund's Education Advisory Board, which includes noted historians, journalists and educators.
