2016 In Memory Yearbook

Eighteenth Annual IN MEMORY DAY OBSERVANCE VIE TNA M VE TER ANS MEMORIAL SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 2016 10 : 0 0 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 eighteenth 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. They may not meet the criteria for addition to The Wall, but they certainly are worthy of joining 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 2,500 service members are already a part of the In Memory Honor Roll, and today we add 312. 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.

Sincerely,

Jim Knotts President and CEO Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund

VIETNAM VETER ANS ME MO RIAL FUND

JOIN US ON FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2016 AT 10 : 0 0 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, volunteers join sons and daughters of veterans and affix long-stemmed roses with messages of love and honor sent from across the country to those whose lives were cut short.

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

White roses with red tips symbolize those who are part of our In Memory program.

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 foreign conflict.

VIETNAM VETER ANS ME MO RIAL FUND

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 flapole, and the In Memory plaque.

THE WALL THAT HEALS

The Wall That Heals mobile exhibit features a half-scale replica of The Wall in Washington, D.C. along with a mobile Education Center.

CEREMONIES AT THE WALL

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

ITEMS LEFT AT THE WALL

Since The Wall was dedicated in 1982, more than 400,000 items have been left by visitors as remembrances and tributes. NPS collects and preserves these objects as part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Collection, with curatorial support from VVMF.

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 last impact of the Vietnam War and era.

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.

VIETNAM VETER ANS ME MO RIAL FUND

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 began in 1999 and has since honored more than 2,500 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.

Our Special Thanks Special thanks go out to the volunteers of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, who have dedicated thousands of hours to the Memorial over the years. VVMF is proud to have their help and dedication! A special thanks in particular to VVMF volunteer, Tamora Papas, for her support of the In Memory program. A big thanks to the families and friends of the In Memory Honorees for journeying to Washington, DC, to take part in this special day.

Photos, as well as additional Tribute copies, will be available on our website after the event at: www.vvmf.org/event-photos Please visit the VVMF Store at www.vvmf.org/store to see In Memory items available for purchase.
