Put a face with a name

0 Comments | Naval Aviation News, Nov-Dec, 2001

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund and Kinko's have kicked off the "Put a Face with a Name" campaign to create a digital photo collection honoring the men and women lost in the Vietnam War. Through 30 November, Kinko's is providing complimentary computer and scanning time for anyone who wishes to post a photo to thevirtualwall.org, an online extension of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Since its launch in 1998, The Virtual Wall has received more than 30,000 personal stories, yet only a few photos. Family and friends are encouraged to share a picture of their lost loved one as a permanent reminder that the service members who gave their lives are more than just names on the Wall.
