Why Vietnam Still Matters - The War and The Wall Written to help with the VVMF's mission of educating the American public about the Vietnam War and the ongoing societal consequences of it. A wide variety of people were asked to tell high school students the most important lesson of the Vietnam War. Volunteers at the Memorial were asked to tell of poignant moments there. Remarks from prominant Americans are also included. Compiled by Jan Scruggs Jan Scruggs is best known for being the founder of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Scruggs served as a corporal in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, and upon completion of his service attended American University in Washington, D.C where he obtained a master's degree in counseling. During the course of graduate studies, Scruggs came up with the idea of a memorial to honor the veterans of the Vietnam War, and began to raise funds after the United States Congress did not take action. The effort began with $2,800 of his own money and eventually raised over $8 million, coming mostly from private donations. The memorial was dedicated in November 1982. Scruggs is now a motivational speaker, attorney and author of two books dealing with the Vietnam War, To Heal A Nation and Why Vietnam Still Matters, The War and The Wall. paperback - 132 pages - 4 1/8" wide x 6 3/4" tall x 3/8" thick very good condition I do my best to describe each item in detail.
