Mission Accomplished ... For Now
The Wall’s been built, so what was 
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund 
to do with itself once it achieved 
its original goal? Plenty — and that’s 
just fine with its donors.
In the end, VVMF raised almost $3 million for the memorial. It was dedicated to the American people and is now overseen by the U.S. Department of Interior's National Park Service. VVMF keeps up the insurance on it and uses its endowment to maintain the site "in perpetuity," taking on repairs and upkeep as needed, as well as adding new names of vets who had been left out of the original Department of Defense database of those killed in action.
