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......
