Viet Nam Veterans' Virtual Wall
This even lets you click on a person and read about them. Very touching. I will bet everyone on the mailing list will know someone who is on the Wall................
Someone spent a lot of time on this and it is truly remarkable........... Someone sent me the link above which is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Viet Nam War with the names, bio's and other information on our lost comrades. It is a very interesting link, and those who served in that timeframe and lost friends or family can look them up on this site. Pass it on to other veterans who you think would like this.
First click on a state......then when it opens .........a city or town...... then a name.......it should show you a picture of the person or at least his bio and medals......
