Tysons Corner Center on Tuesday directed Metro to remove an ad for the mall that shows a woman in front of a wall strongly resembling the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, with the names of the center’s stores appearing instead of those of the war dead.

Vietnam veterans and their families were appalled by the advertisement. Reacting quickly to condemnation led by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, Tysons management ordered the ads taken down from the Metrorail cars where they have been posted.
