To add a name to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
December 15, 2000
The Orange County Register
The Department
of Defense reviews individual cases of deaths that have occurred months
or even years after being wounded in Vietnam. Names are added when it
has been determined that a service member has died directly from combat-related
wounds. Cancer victims of Agent Orange, and post traumatic stress suicides
do not fit the criteria for inclusion upon the Memorial.
If you think you know someone who may fit the criteria to have their
name added to the wall and you would like more information, these offices
can be contacted:
