Now you can add your story and remembrance to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. In collaboration with the archival search company Footnote, The Times has made each of the 58,000-plus names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial searchable, a place where you can add personal stories. A digital image of the wall actually thousands of photos fused together locates each veterans name where it appears on the memorial. From there, any visitor to The Times site can leave their stories and remembrances or upload photos of veterans. Start by clicking on the "Search the Wall" box, where you can select "Search" or "View." Once you find the name of a soldier, you can add your stories or photos.

Excellent presentation...
Prayers for all who gave the full measure in that singular hell, and for those who remained behind.
May God bless them all.
Thanks for posting.
I was unaware of this site.
For personal (emotional) reasons I have never found the courage within myself to visit either the DC monument or any local presentations of the mobile replica. Perhaps with this online version, I can, thanks.
I found my friend Skippy Nard who was 20 when he died in Vietnam in 1966 a day before his birthday.
I will always miss him.
They were talking about this on the Glen Beck show today.
Gadzooks! The sumbitches want you to join before your can search. I tried Terrance Graves, a Medal of Honor winner, and I got asked to pay to join to search!
WOW
