"One visitor described it as "a great white angel spreading her wings across the Moreno
Varley." Our nation's first memorial to veterans of the Vietnam War stands atop a
windswept hillcrest near Taos at a stunning stop along New Mexico's "Enchanted Circle."
Originally built by a local businessman to honor his fallen son, it has become a touchstone
for America's veterans and remains a moving shrine for all who visit. Steve Trout
provides the memorial's first comprehensive history, tracing its evolution from a
particular tragic mission in Vietnam to its emergence as an iconic symbol. Steve has
obtained the full cooperation of the surviving family member, Walter Westphall, and
has used letters and other primary sources not only to construct the history of the
memorial but to infuse the story with humanity."
