WHAT WERE THE BIGGEST AND THE SMALLEST ITEMS LEFT?
The largest is a painting on a sliding glass door which was left in association with a reproduction of a full-size tiger cage. The painting shows a scene in Vietnam and lists the names of all of the U.S. Department of Defense, Vietnam War POW and MIA’s. The glass door is nearly 9′ high and 5′ wide. The tiger cage is currently on display at the Smithsonian Institution’s, Museum of American History. The second contender is a custom-built Harley-Davidson motorcycle left at the Memorial by a group of Wisconsin citizens and Vietnam veterans. As to the smallest, there are many pebbles, coins, tokens, rings, small badges, and commemorative pins in the collection; it is difficult to say with certainty which is the smallest.
