The thirteen-foot black granite tablets represents the thirteen original
colonies as well as the height of the triangle.
The
symbol on the back that secures the black granite is in the shape of the
peace sign, which was often drawn on the Vietnam soldier's helmet.
The
black and gold flagpoles represent the beloved colors of Pittsburgh.
The
height of the crying rose to the tablets with the names was
strategically placed so that all those that read the names must bow
their head and in sad memory their heads will turn to and fro to sorrow.
The
black granite memorial was born from a long war, the death of LCPL
William Joseph Wagner, Jr. and from a poem titled, The Wall.
The
Black Granite Vietnam War Memorial was carefully thought out and
constructed by many volunteers with the memory.
Not
so long ago... Vietnam
