For all 58,261 Vietnam veterans on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial

The following is from the Education Center at The Wall:

Behind every name, a story. Our goal is to collect photos for all 58,261 veterans on The Wall. It was thousands of individuals who helped build the Memorial; now we are calling on you once again.

Do you have a photo or know someone who has a photo for a name on The Wall?

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is partnering with FedEx to collect these precious photos. It’s simple. Bring an original picture to any FedEx Office location (office locations, not shipping-only centers). They will scan your photo while you wait and hand the original right back to you. To download and print out the submission form, click here.

For more information and instructions on how to mail your photos, click here.

If you don’t have a photo yourself, spread the word. Ask family, friends, neighbors. Visit your local library to search for yearbooks. Ask at your church, or put a call for action in your hometown newspaper.
