Review for Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Inc, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Not only is this organization offering a wonderful healing tool for those of us that have the name of a loved one on The Wall, but it has been great for finding kindred spirits that share the same type of loss. When we that live far away from The Wall cannot visit and "touch his spirit" there is the VVMF Website that gives the opportunity to spend a few minutes with them. I remember every trip to visit The Wall, but the Website gives everyone the
opportunity to share their stories and the ability to post photos of their loved ones. It gave me the chance to contact one of the soldiers that was there the day my soldier was KIA, connecting with that person gives a sense of closure that was never available before the VVMF built The Wall.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Only want to give them the chance to make a difference in more lives by expanding the search for photos.

Role:  General Member of the Public & I am contacting loved ones that posted a remembrance asking for a photo for the "Put a Face to a Name" Project.
