memorial wall
Names etched remembering
A memorial wall is a structure bearing the names of people who died in war, disaster, or other collective tragedy.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., is the most famous example—a black granite wall inscribed with over 58,000 names.
Memorial walls serve as sites for mourning and remembrance: Visitors leave flowers at the memorial wall.
Smaller versions appear at schools, workplaces, and online spaces to honor the dead.
