The center is planned as an underground educational facility focused on the war. It is to be built on the Mall near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
The fund has raised $14 million of the estimated $75 million to $100 million cost of the center. The design is just entering the approval process, and fund officials have said the full cost must be raised before construction can start. Groundbreaking is expected in 2010, with completion 18 months later.
