This association is expressed in different ways: from the official remembrance through war memorials and monuments, through an almost unconscious remembrance due to the remaining war damage dotting the urban landscape, and through how the war and its people are shown by different popular media such as television and movies.

The Vietnam War was a very difficult time in history for many people. Many good soldiers were lost in the war and others that came home were traumatized by what they lived in the war. Many of the families of the soldiers were happy to see them back when the war was over. Other families were devastated because of their loss but, they remembered them as honorable veterans.

the darkness is what overpowered his presidency and captured the attention of the American people. However, Nixon is not to be simplified into a villain, rather he is paradoxical figure who cannot be nailed down to a single archetype. Therefore his memorial must attempt to represent not only his malevolent qualities such but also his strategic genius and perspicacity regarding politics. The goal is to paint a picture of a man who is so often reduced to a mere shadow of who he truly was and to…
