The sculpture is composed of individual dog tags engraved with the name of each of the U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, and nurses who lost their lives in the Vietnam War! The tags are then hung as a group in the foyer ceiling of the small museum. This sculpture took over 2 years to create with the artists engraving tags eight hours a day for five days a week and measures 10x40 feet. It is a stunning sight.
