  Vietnam Memorial Education Center

On November 17, 2003, President Bush amended Public Law 96-297, the original legislation for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, allowing the Memorial Fund to construct an underground Education Center near the Memorial. The Memorial Fund worked tirelessly for more than three years to move the bill through Congress. Senators Chuck Hagel (R-NE), John Kerry (D-MA), John McCain (R-AZ) and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD), all Vietnam era veterans, along with House Resources Chairman Richard Pombo (R-CA), Vice Chairman Jim Gibbons (R-NV) and Ranking Member Nick Rahall (D-WV) have been instrumental in the bill's progress through the 108th Congress.

The Education Center will provide a thought-provoking educational experience with exhibits working in synergy with the Memorial. It will feature photographs of those who were killed or remain missing, some of the more than 60,000 items that have been left at The Wall and other engaging displays that will be developed over the next year.
