Respect our Vietnam War veterans
I don’t know of any memorials to any country. Yet most people and mass media refer to a “Vietnam Memorial.” It is not a memorial to Vietnam. It is a memorial to Vietnam vets. It is the “Vietnam Veterans Memorial.”
It is disrespectful to the veterans of this unpopular war and their memorial to call it anything else but the “Vietnam Veterans Memorial.”
