Vietnam Wall Research

This really is an amazing web site.  Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it. You can search by last name or state and city.

First click on a state.  When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear.  Then click on their names.  It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals.

The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio’s and other information on our lost heroes.  Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site.  Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.

I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.
