JAN CRAIG SCRUGGS | Moderator<br />
HOMETOWN: <strong>Annapolis</strong>, MD<br />
Jan Craig Scruggs is a United States Army veteran<br />
who served in the Vietnam War and received the<br />
Purple Heart, the Combat Infantry Badge, and the<br />
Army Commendation Medal, with ‘Valor’ during his<br />
tour of duty, leaving the Army in 1970.<br />
Flowing from his experiences and his professional<br />
expertise in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Scruggs<br />
imagined a national memorial engraved with the names of the Americans<br />
fallen in the Vietnam War. Mr. Scruggs founded and was the President of<br />
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, which built the Vietnam Veterans<br />
Memorial in Washington, D.C. in 1982. It is the most visited memorial in<br />
Washington, DC with 5 million visitors annually. He has since worked<br />
tirelessly to further veterans’ causes, dedicated his life to the memorial,<br />
and fought for a National Vet Center <strong>Program</strong>. Visit FounderOfTheWall.com.<br />
