The wall will remain black, but it will include the statue and flag -- not at the center, but off to the side. The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial is dedicated on Veterans' Day, 1982. There is general critical acclaim for the clarity of Lin's vision. The statue and flag are installed two years later, and in 1993, a second statue honoring women who served in Vietnam goes in alongside it. The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial is now the most widely visited monument in Washington, D.C. Lin continues to work successfully as a sculptor and designer in the U.S.
