About the In Memory Program The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and promoting healing and educating about the impact of the Vietnam War. The legacy of the Memorial includes not only those whose names are etched in the granite wall, but embraces all who served during the Vietnam War. ;OL 0U 4LTVY` 7YVNYHT OVUVYZ [OVZL [OH[ KPLK HZ H YLZ\S[ VM [OL =PL[UHT >HY I\[ ^OVZL KLH[OZ KV UV[ Ä[ the Department of Defense parameters for inclusion upon The Wall. Many thousands of service members and civilians died as a result of their involvement in the war, but not as a direct result of combat wounds, as is dictated for inscription on The Wall.

If you know of anyone whose death was related to involvement in the Vietnam War and would like to have that person included in the In Memory Program, contact VVMF at 202-393-0090 or visit our website for details and to download the In Memory application: wwww.vvmf.org/InMemoryProgram.

About the Education Center at The Wall and VVMF The Wall helps us remember the names of the service members who died or remain missing from the Vietnam War. VVMF’s newest initiative, the Education Center at The Wall, will help us remember these faces and learn about their lives as well.

With a groundbreaking planned for November 2012, the Education Center will be a place on our National 4HSS ^OLYL V\Y TPSP[HY` OLYVLZ» Z[VYPLZ HUK ZHJYPÄJL ^PSS UL]LY IL MVYNV[[LU 0[ ^PSS IL H Z[H[L VM [OL HY[ ]PZP[VYZ center and learning facility where visitors will better understand the profound impact the Vietnam War had on their friends and family members, their hometowns, and the nation. The Education Center will feature the faces and stories of the more than 58,000 men and women on The Wall, honoring those who fell in Vietnam, those who fought and returned, as well as the friends and families of all who served. For information, visit www.BuildTheCenter.org.

Established in 1979, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s activities include educational programs for students and teachers, a traveling Wall replica that honors our nation’s veterans and six ceremonies each year at the Memorial to honor and remember those who served in Vietnam.
