In case you knew anyone who died during the pointless carnage back then...
The first link is to a virtual wall of Americans lost during the Vietnam War. Those who remember that timeframe, or perhaps lost friends or family, can look them up on this site.
http://www.virtualwall.org/iStates.htmFirst click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear. Then click on their names. It might show a picture of the person or at least a partial bio and medals.
According to the site below,
58,226 American soldiers died in the Vietnam War or declared missing in action. Further information at:
