Back in March prior to Vietnam War Veterans Day, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s Wall of Faces needed less than 80 photos to complete the project. Now, that number stands at less than 30 through the work of volunteers.
The virtual Wall of Faces features a page that honors and remembers every person on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Each page has a photo to go with each of the more than 58,000 names on The Wall. The Wall of Faces allows family and friends to share memories, post pictures and connect with each other.
Additionally, over 1,400 of the photos are poor quality. Anyone with better photos can upload them. A list of those are at located here.
(Note: this story will be periodically updated as Veterans are found.)

It truly is sad that you can serve a country…..that forgets about you!!!
It’s very sad that the various branches of service we served would not have a picture of our men we lost. Even a picture from basic training days would be better than nothing at all. Kind of fits with our old expression “it dont mean nothing”. And to state location of death, unknown, is unforgiveable!
First Cav grunt…still pissed off
Pretty sure a good deal of effort has gone into this project by some well meaning folks. Noted!!!
Would be great to see an equal amount of effort at the top levels of the VA to fix the system in general.
How much money did you waste on this?
