A powerful and emotional exploration of the psychology behind the Vietnam Veterans Memorial's enduring power to heal. It reveals the predicament of returning vets, often with undiagnosed PTSD, who were unable to expose and confront emotional and psychological wounds in a country grappling with an unpopular war. Vets, families, founders of the Wall, and experts help make sense of the pain and release, and bring you to an understanding of this memorial's unique healing legacy and solemn, emotional impact on visitors. The profoundly personal and deeply moving histories lead to insight into the cathartic power of the memorial - a place to connect, grieve, reflect, and finally feel acknowledged for their sacrifice.
