Line of Duty by Rod Chase - The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall
contains the names of 58,226 men and women who were killed and
remain missing from that war. The names are etched on the black
granite panels that compose the Wall, and the panels are arranged
into two arms, extending from a central point to form a wide
angle.The names are listed in the order in which the men and
women died or were declared mission. The first death was recorded
in 1959 and the last in 1975. More than 500 individual names
are readable in the Chase painting. Line of Duty, the original
work, was inspired by the photography of Larry Powell. |
