Here on The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial War Page is a place you can fine a friend or a loved one killed in that war. I was moved by the dedication and caring that went into this memorial to honor those who gave their lives for our country.
Our gratitude to the following for their support and contribution to this page and the Medal of Honor Park & Museum project.
Thanks, and God Bless each of you.
