When was the Vietnam Memorial built? This significant structure is situated right in the heart of the nationâs capital, Washington D. C. It was built and dedicated on November 13th in 1982. Before that, construction of the Vietnam Veterans Peace and Brotherhood Chapel in New Mexico took place in 1971. Although this move was made to commemorate only a group of U.S. soldiers that was ambushed in Vietnam, it inspired the government to build a much larger memorial for all those who died in the Vietnam War. The U.S. captured Saigon on April 30, 1975.
