Every once in a while a Forward (FWD) message arrives that truly is worth sharing. FWD: The Vietnam Wall - THIS IS AMAZING is one of them. In reality, The Virtual Wall ® is the name of the web site run by www.VirtualWall.org Ltd. a New York State not-for-profit corporation. (Learn more here.) If you just click on one state and see how many young men gave their lives for our country - it is overwhelming. This is really sobering.
First click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear. Then click on their names. For example the following on the Palouse from Washington State:
| CASTLE ROCK, WASHINGTON: | ||
| LCPL LARRY JOSEPH HARDY | ||
| COLFAX, WASHINGTON: | ||
| SP4 RODGER KENNETH CAIN | PFC MELVIN DOUGLAS EAST | SP4 GREGORY EDWARD SCOTT |
| FARMINGTON, WASHINGTON: | ||
| CAPT LARRY ALLEN TRIMBLE | ||
| GARFIELD, WASHINGTON: | ||
| SP4 DANNY LEE ARCHER | ||
| FARMINGTON, WASHINGTON: | ||
| CAPT LARRY ALLEN TRIMBLE | ||
| ROCKFORD, WASHINGTON: | ||
| CPL MICHAEL GEORGE MURDOCK | ||
Click on the name and it should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals. This really is an amazing web site. Volunteers spend a lot of time and effort to create and update it.
I hope that everyone who reads or receives this appreciates what
those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country. The link is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio's and other information on our lost heroes.
Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends
or family can look them up on this site. Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed: http://www.virtualwall.org/iStates.htm.
