CALL FOR PHOTOS - WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The Santa Fe Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans’ of America Chapter #996 is assisting the New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services to collect photographs of the 397 New Mexicans whose names are engraved on the National Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C.

This is part of a nationwide “Call for Photos” by the National Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial Fund (VVMF), which is building a museum near The Wall to display the photos of all 58,261 Americans who lost their lives in the Vietnam War and are enshrined on this Memorial Wall. (The pictures at the right depict what this new digital monument should look like.)

Since the project was launched in October of 2009, the response has been tremendous from family, friends and acquaintances of these fallen heroes--so far, 389 photographs have already been collected!

But we still need seven (7) photographs. The names of these soldiers are listed below.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Please help us find the families of these remaining fallen New Mexicans.

If you have any information about these pictures or have knowledge of who might be in possession of a photo, please contact VVMF Northern New Mexico Chapter 996 member Art Canales at artcan@newmexico.com.
