    Today, March 29, is the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War Veterans Day. Nine million American men and women – more than six million of whom are living today – served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces during our involvement in Vietnam from November 1, 1955 to May 7, 1975.

    The Vietnam Veterans Virtual 'Wall of Faces' is nearly complete but needs help from the public to track down the last few dozen photos. Of the 58,279 names inscribed on The Wall, there’s less than 80 photos needed to complete the Wall of Faces.

    Here's a link of the names photos are needed for.

    Posted because you never know who knows whom.

    They deserve to be remembered.

    Hey @Moon Landing. Thanks for the post, I was there in the Delta in '69 and little did I know that down the road my birthday would be on the same day.
