Dog tags of the more than 58,000 service men and women who died in the Vietnam War hang from the ceiling of the NationalVietnam
Veterans Art Museum in Chicago on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010. The 10-by-40-foot sculpture, entitled Above & Beyond, Museum in Chicago on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010. The 10-by-40-foot sculpture, entitled Above & Beyond, was designed by Ned Broderick and Richard Stein.

The tens of thousands of metal dog tags are suspended 24 feet in the air, 1 inch apart, from fine lines that allow them to move and chime
with shifting air currents. Museum employees using a kiosk and laser pointer help visitors locate the exact dog tag with the imprinted
name of their lost friend or relative.
