Contents	The Vietnam Veterans Memorial: a symbolic cemetery on the National Mall -- Immediate memorials: mourning in protest -- Oklahoma City: reframing tragedy as triumph -- Columbine and the power of denial -- Commemorating 9/11: from the tribute in light to reflecting absence.
Summary	Although radically different, the Vietnam War, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Columbine High School shootings, and the attacks of 9/11 all shattered myths of national identity. Vietnam was a war the United States didn't win; Oklahoma City revealed domestic terrorism in the heartland; Columbine debunked legends of high school as an idyllic time; and 9/11 demonstrated U.S. vulnerability to international terrorism.
