A short distance away from the Vietnam Memorial wall in Washington, designed by Maya Lin, is another Vietnam memorial, a bronze statue named The Three Soldiers (sometimes called The Three Servicemen). Negative reactions to Maya Lin's original design created a controversy. A compromise was reached by commissioning Frederick Hart (who had placed third in the original design competition) to produce a bronze figurative sculpture in the heroic tradition in order to complement the memorial wall. The statues were unveiled in 1984 and depict three soldiers, purposefully identifiable as White American, African American, and Hispanic American. The statues and the Wall appear to interact with each other, with the soldiers looking on in solemn tribute at the names of their fallen comrades.
