Several times over the years, Elder Lance B. Wickman, emeritus General Authority Seventy, Church general counsel and military veteran, has visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Often referred to as “The Wall,” the memorial has a reflective surface bearing the etched names of more than 58,000 individuals who lost their lives or remain missing since the Vietnam War, honoring their service and sacrifice.
For Elder Wickman, a former U.S. Army Ranger who served two tours in Vietnam, the memorial is both an imposing and deeply spiritual place where the names of many of his personal friends are listed.
