The Viet Nam wall has the names using Optima font.
Optima was also used on the 9/11 Memorial wall in Lower Manhattan. Actually it was the newer Optima Nova family, which contains far more weights, including ones with true small capitals character sets. The type family is freaking expensive to buy though, around $1400 for the full 60 font family. Gotta keep an eye out for a sale from Linotype.

OH my, I thought you were Peachtree Foamcraft for a minute. Was having a hard time deciding what to think about your post.
I think modern sign artist are using Bebas Neue because of it's multiple weights. Impact is too old.

As Bobby H mentioned, the lettering at the Lincoln Monument is Trajan.

Hey...we already discussed this a couple of months ago, go back and look again. The correct answer is: it depends.

We could list a gazillion fonts and keep this thread going until eternity, but the above discussion is the basic litmus test for the industry.
