    The Washington Times has partnered with the Internet company Footnote.com on a new project that transforms Washington's Vietnam war memorial wall into an interactive, personal journey on the Web.

The gang assembles for the 4th of JULY Parade in LaPorte, IN 2004 A Memorial That Tells The Truth In 1975, as the last helicopter frantically left the roof of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon, it was virtually unthinkable that a memorial to the nearly 60,000 American soldiers who had perished in the Vietnam War would one day stand on the same spot on Washington's National Mall where anti-war protest rallies had earlier gathered. Six years later, it was equally unimaginable that the just-chosen design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial would, when built, turn...
