Volunteers at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial provide assistance to the more than four million annual visitors. In addition, volunteers assist the Memorial Fund with its many outreach programs, such as Teach Vietnam Teachers' Conference and The Wall That Heals Traveling Replica and Museum.

The Memorial Fund furnishes the volunteers with the necessary supplies to accomplish their volunteer support. Each summer, the Memorial Fund honors these hardworking individuals each year at a luncheon held in Washington, D.C. The Memorial Fund recognizes and applauds the great services provided by these dedicated men and women.
