As we all know, it lists the names of service men and women that served - 58,318 in total.

A small but significant correction -- the names on the wall are those who gave their lives in the service of their country while participating in the Vietnam War.
Thank you for assisting as a volunteer in Nahant, and for bringing attention here to the display.
