Since its creation in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial has ì become the most visited National Park Services site. Each year, ì 4.5 million people come to the Wall. Many of them leave letters ì or other special objects. Every night, park rangers collect and ì inventory these mementos - now numbering well over 90,000 - and ì put them into government storage. Michael Sofarelli, the son of a ì Vietnam War veteran, has combed through the archives searching ì for the most gripping letters and objects: a mother awaiting word ì of her missing son, a former comrade recounting a battle story, a ì pair of well-worn ballet slippers, and a collection of cigars. ì These items are not only a tribute to the fallen soldiers; they ì pay tribute as well to the families and friends who waited at ì home and the comrades who have never forgotten their brothers. ì They tell the story of a war that is still being fought by many ì who served and a conflict that changed the lives of many ì Americans forever.
