MAYA LIN在越戰紀念碑得獎時,反對聲浪排山倒海而來,自以為是越戰老兵和守舊頑固的保守派群起圍攻林瓔,甚至以種族歧視字眼「亞洲佬」(gook)罵她,他們都看不懂林瓔的設計圖,主辦紀念碑競圖的越戰退伍軍人協會背叛她,在紀念碑旁另加三個越戰軍人雕像和美國國旗,設計軍人雕像的菲特烈.哈特(紀念碑設計圖得第三名)獲三十萬元酬勞,林瓔只得二萬元,哈特還帶老婆去咆哮林瓔。保守派的德州大富翁裴洛(一九九二年競選總統)、尼克森的講稿撰述人派德.布坎南和小說家湯姆.伍夫等人大罵「亞裔女子」林瓔。幸好華盛頓郵報的建築評論家艾卡特和他的朋友茱迪絲.馬丁為林瓔仗義執言,以專家的立場嚴厲反駁保守派和越戰老兵,但林瓔的心裡已受到巨大的傷害,她很少再去華府看她的越戰紀念碑。
林瓔說她當初設計紀念碑時,刻意不去研究越南史和越戰史,也不從亞裔的觀點去思考,同時也不把越戰當成一場悲劇,而是從「死亡也是一種榮耀」的角度出發,又以不貿然破壞華府廣場的自然環境為原則,紀念碑向地下延伸,黑大理石碑刻上陣亡人員名字。幾乎所有的建築與藝術評論家都同意,林瓔創造了前無古人的紀念碑設計風格,為紀念碑的設計立下了他人難以企及的商標,她的「越戰紀念碑」已成為藝術史上不朽的標誌。

Maya Lin said she had designed monument, deliberately do not study the history of Vietnamese history and Vietnam War, not to think from the Asian point of view, while not the Vietnam War as a tragedy, but from the "death is a Glory" perspective on, he does not hastily destroy the natural environment of Washington Square, the principle of an extension to the underground monument, black marble tablets on the names of war dead. Almost all of the architecture and art critics all agree that Maya Lin's monument has created unprecedented design, the design of the monument is difficult to set the prices and the trademark of others, her "Vietnam Veterans Memorial" has become a symbol of immortality in art history.
