Seriously though unless this posting was aimed at bore Eurotrash
its kind of pointless and/or redundant.

Actually that would be the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. And, it shows

It would of course require a very much larger wall to list the Vitnamese who
died in that previous ill-judged intervention.

Nothing to stop the Vietnamese from building one.
