The Shadow
Since the Vietnam War ended, thousands of Vietnam veterans have suffered due to Agent Orange exposure, PTSD and other illnesses as a result of their service. The Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial Fund (VVMF) believes all those who served in Vietnam should be honored and remembered for their service.
The IN MEMORY program enables the families and friends of those who came and later died the opportunity to have them be forever memorialized.
The plaque on the grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial site in Washington, D.C. that honors these veterans was dedicated in 2004. It reads: “In memory of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War and later died a result of their service. We honor and remember their sacrifice.”
In Memory was created in 1993 by the group – Friends of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. VVMF began managing the program and hosting the ceremony in 1999. More than 6,500 veterans have been added to the IN MEMORY honor roll since the program began.
To see all the honorees and to get more information about this program, please visit: www.vvmf.org/honor-roll.
