2019 In Memory Program

2019 IN MEMORY DAY OBSERVANCE VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2019 10:00 A.M.

Dear Friends: On behalf of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF), I am pleased to welcome you to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for our annual In Memory Day ceremony. Today, in the shadow of The Wall, we honor the service and sacrifice of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War and have since died as a result of their service.

The Vietnam War was unpopular at home, yet nearly three million Americans served during this time. They served for lots of reasons…a legal requirement to serve when drafted, a sense of duty when called upon by their country, or even so that others didn’t have to serve. Thankfully, most returned home. However, for many, coming home from Vietnam was just the beginning of a whole new fight. Many never fully recovered, either physically or emotionally, from their experiences. That is why the In Memory program exists — because only a fraction of the casualties actually died on the battlefields of Vietnam.

Many more carried their wounds back and suffered long after the actual fighting ended. As these service members pass, it is our duty and our solemn promise to welcome them home to this place that our nation has set aside to remember our Vietnam veterans. Today, they join their brothers and sisters in this place of honor and remembrance.

For many of the family members here today, this ceremony is bittersweet. Your loss is still new. While that pain lingers, you are proud of your Vietnam veteran and happy to see them finally receive the recognition they deserve.

I offer you this thought, which I hope will bring you some comfort — our Vietnam veterans took upon themselves the commitment to never allow another generation of men and women go into harm’s way for their country without the respect and honor they deserve. That is part of their legacy, and the next time you hear someone say “thanks for your service” to someone in uniform, you can take comfort in knowing that thanks also is being extended to your loved one.

More than 3,600 service members are already a part of the In Memory Honor Roll, and today we add 534. Together we’ll make sure that their sacrifices — and those of their families — will never be forgotten. For as long as this memorial stands, and as long as visitors come to this place to learn, your loved ones will be remembered.

Thank you all for joining us here today.

Sincerely,

Jim Knotts President and CEO Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund

We encourage visitors to leave remembrances, add photos and share with friends and family.

THE WALL THAT HEALS

VVMF’s The Wall That Heals exhibit includes a three-quarter scale replica of The Wall, a mobile Education Center and a replica In Memory plaque.

The replica Wall is made of Avonite, a synthetic granite, and visitors can do name rubbings of names on The Wall.

The replica travels in a 53-foot trailer that becomes a mobile Education Center which includes digital displays customized for the local area where the exhibit is on display. Visitors can see the Hometown Heroes display which includes photos of local service members on The Wall. They can also see the In Memory Honor Roll which includes photos of In Memory honorees from the state where the exhibit is on display. Items representative of those left at The Wall in D.C., a timeline of “The War and The Wall” and a map of Vietnam are also on display. New for 2019 – a replica of the In Memory plaque is part of the exhibit.

The Wall That Heals will be on display in 33 communities across the country in 2019. We hope that our In Memory families will come out to see their honoree’s photo on display when we’re in their home state. To see a full schedule, go to www.vvmf. org/2019-twth-tour.

Want to bring The Wall to your community? VVMF is now accepting applications to host The Wall That Heals in 2020. To learn more about being a host or how to apply, please visit: www. vvmf.org/twth-request.

IIN N MEMORY MEMORY U OR IAL F

“A friend is the heart’s celebration.”

JOIN THE IN MEMORY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

When VVMF built The Wall in 1982, no one knew how many Vietnam veterans were going to continue to suffer from service-connected illnesses. As more and more veterans passed, the In Memory program was created to honor these veterans who came home but ultimately died because of their service in Vietnam.

We come together each year for the In Memory ceremony to pay tribute to these veterans who sacrificed for their country. For many friends and family members of our honorees, the ceremony has a lasting impact and the friendships fortified here and the memories shared with other families enrich their lives.

Honoring service and sacrifice and preserving the legacy of our nation’s Vietnam veterans is central to the VVMF mission. Family members know firsthand the struggle to receive support and acknowledgement for their loved one’s service and sacrifice. We’re asking you to help us lead the way in inspiring others to honor and remember the millions of Vietnam veterans who returned home to an unwelcome nation.

We invite you to join the In Memory Circle of Friends — a community of supporters who are fulfilling the promise to Never Forget. Your support will make it possible for us to maintain the In Memory program, which after today honors more than 4,000 veterans, with thousands more expected to be honored in coming years. Your support will help VVMF host the annual ceremony and welcome gathering, promote healing and education, and continue to honor all Vietnam veterans.

Members of the In Memory Circle of Friends are recognized in the annual In Memory yearbook and receive other special benefits throughout the year.

Please help us to ensure the impact of the Vietnam War is never forgotten and that those who served their country and gave their lives as a result are remembered always. Together, we can continue to pay tribute to your loved one and our nation’s Vietnam veterans for generations to come.

For more information on joining the In Memory Circle of Friends, please contact Luz Lovins at llovins@vvmf.org or 202-393-0090. More information is also available online at: www.vvmf.org/InMemory-Program/.

JOIN US ON FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY, JUNE 16, 2019 AT 10:00 A.M. Please join us tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. for our annual Father’s Day Rose Remembrance at The Wall.

Father’s Day is a time to honor all of our fathers and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) will continue the annual tradition of paying special tribute to fathers.

Every year on Father’s Day, family members and volunteers affix long-stemmed roses with personal messages of love and remembrance and lay them at the base of The Wall and around the memorial site.

Red roses symbolize those killed in action. Yellow roses symbolize those missing in action.

White roses with red tips symbolize those veterans who returned home and later died.

Family, friends and other visitors are invited to take part in the laying of roses surrounding the memorial, a breathtaking sight that demonstrates both the gratitude and the sacrifices of families impacted by the Vietnam War.

ABOUT THE VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL FUND The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) is the nonprofit organization that founded the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (The Wall) in Washington, D.C. in 1982. VVMF’s mission is to honor and preserve the legacy of service in America and educate all generations about the impact of the Vietnam War and era. We honor the service of all, preserve the memory of those who died during the war and since returning home, and educate all generations about the lasting impact of the war.

Today’s In Memory Ceremony and other VVMF ceremonies, programs, and education efforts are made possible by donations from our generous supporters.

VVMF’s work includes:

Care and Preservation of the Memorial Site VVMF partners with the National Park Service (NPS) to care for The Wall, the Three Servicemen Statue, the flagpole, and the In Memory plaque. The In Memory plaque was dedicated on the grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial site in 2004.

The Wall That Heals The Wall That Heals mobile exhibit features a ¾-scale replica of The Wall in Washington, D.C. along with a mobile Education Center and a replica In Memory plaque.

Ceremonies at The Wall Each year, VVMF holds several ceremonies at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to help carry out is mission to honor those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

In Memory VVMF’s In Memory program honors Vietnam veterans whose lives were cut short as a result of their service in Vietnam, but are not eligible for inscription on The Wall under Department of Defense guidelines.

Education VVMF develops and distributes comprehensive and balanced education materials that help students learn about the lasting impact of the Vietnam War and era. VVMF offers guided tours of The Wall in D.C. and at The Wall That Heals as well as a virtual tour and a mobile tour app to educate those who can’t visit the Memorial site.

The Wall OF FACES The Wall of Faces is an effort to collect a face and a story to each name on The Wall. Photos are displayed online as well as at The Wall That Heals stops.

For more information on VVMF’s work or to make a donation in support of these programs, please go to: www.vvmf.org or call 202-393-0090.

About the In Memory Program The In Memory program honors Vietnam veterans whose lives were cut short as a result of their service in Vietnam, but are not eligible for inscription on The Wall under Department of Defense guidelines. In Memory is a way that all Vietnam veterans can be honored on the National Mall.

The plaque that honors these veterans was dedicated as part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 2004.

It reads: In Memory of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War and later died as a result of their service. We honor and remember their sacrifice.

The In Memory ceremony is held annually on the National Mall. Family members and friends of current honorees — as well as past honorees — are invited to say their loved one’s name in a touching ceremony on the East Knoll of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

The In Memory program has honored more than 3,600 veterans. The In Memory Honor Roll has a remembrance page for each veteran and can be seen online at www.vvmf.org/honor-roll.

If you have a family member or friend whose death was related to their service in the Vietnam War and would like to have that person considered for inclusion in the In Memory Honor Roll, please contact VVMF at 202-393-0090 or visit our website to download the application at: www.vvmf.org/inmemory.
