===The wall listed 58,159 names when it was completed in 1993. The soldier's names were placed in order by date of death. The Memorial Wall, designed by Maya Ying Lin, is made up of two black granite walls 246 feet 9 inches long. At the highest point, they are 10.1 feet high, and they taper to a height of eight inches at their extremities. Granite for the wall came from Bangalore, India, and was deliberately chosen because of its reflective quality. Stone cutting and fabrication was done in Barre, Vermont.=== || media type="custom" key="3617741" ||
