The Memorial was established shortly after the end of the Vietnam war. Originally, it was a small, informal site but over the years became a more substantial one as the country became increasingly aware of the plight of war veterans.
It now hosts a large collection of photographic and film archives as well as testimonies to soldiers who fought in Vietnam.
Flags at half mast in memory of Ladybird Johnson who passed away this week.
She was the First lady to President Johnson who fell from office during the Vietnam war, to be replaced by president Nixon.
