Annotation
Rebecca Linda Smith, served in the US armed forces, as a US Army First Lieutenant. (1). She released the song "The Wall" about the veterans memorial in D.C. It took a standard patriotic tribute route, praising those who answered the call to fight in "that bitter war called Vietnam". The narrator sung that "freedom is not free for the living, for the dead", thus suggesting support for the objective of the US government in going to war in Vietnam. The narrator said that the wall provided comfort to the families of the deceased.

About the artist
Unknown - no documented artist by this name was found; searches on the triple name returned only unrelated Rebecca Smiths and Linda Smiths, none carrying a song called "Wall". The title likely refers to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which would place the recording in the 1980s or later - a title observation and date fact only. [Source: no admissible match]
