In 1979, Jan Scruggs conceived the idea of building the Vietnam Veterans Memorial  as a tribute to all who served during one of the longest war in American history. The country was ready to heal.

"I got wounded pretty badly and Jimmy got wounded, too, but he had to go chase after this guy who kind of panicked to run through the jungle without a rifle ... not a good idea," Scruggs said with a laugh. "He was able to find this guy, get him reoriented, and he organized a rescue party to find me and they found me."
