Interactive search of the Vietnam Wall Memorial

SEARCH DIGITAL IMAGE OF THE WALL

More photos at The Wall-USA

 


The Washington Times has partnered with Footnote to create a searchable digital image of the 58,000+ names on the Vietnam War Memorial. When you find the name, you can read details from the government war records on each of these fallen heroes… as well as add your own personal stories and photos.

But utilizing the new info age technology, this gives an even more personal touch to the Memorial, and to the memory of those who have given their all for our country.

Over 58,000 names of those who died or were listed as missing in the Vietnam War are carved in the black granite memorial, which begins with the inscription: “In honor of the men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States who served in the Vietnam War. The names of those who gave their lives and of those who remain missing are inscribed in the order they were taken from us.”

The Wall-USA also has their own search for data on each of the fallen. There is no digital image of the name on The Wall, but you can also add personal comments there as well.

Rest in peace, brave warriors. Your voices are sorely missed.

Thank you to FReeper Vision for fulfilling my request at The Wall yesterday...a prayer in memory of someone I promise to remember.
And also for his hard work cleaning The Wall in preparation for the holiday. Thank you!

Thanks for this service, Washington Times.

It turns out that my old classmate did not die in Vietnam, as I had heard. It turned out to be someone else with the same name and birthplace.

I looked for and found his name the first time I visited the Wall.
