越战纪念碑位于国家广场南端，每年吸引游客约300万。

When anyone leaves a memento², it travels 12 miles here, to the National Park Service's regional storage facility.

如果有人留下纪念品，这些纪念品就会远行12英里到达美国国家公园管理局的区域储存设施中。

As we found the corner, this is where we store the Vietnam collection. There's over 1,400 boxes here. They're all organized by when they were left at the wall. So, it's all in chronological³ order and we've been collecting since 1982. I think there's probably anywhere between 250,000 and 400,000 objects.

我们找到的这个角落就是储存越战纪念碑纪念品的地方。这里有1400多个箱子。我们按照这些箱子放在纪念墙的时间进行存储。所以，这些箱子是按照时间顺序摆放的，而我们是从1982年开始收集这些纪念品的。我认这些为纪念品大概有25万到40万件。
