2022 In Memory Honoree Yearbook by Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund

2022 IN MEMORY DAY OBSERVANCE VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL SATURDAY, June 18, 2022 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 2022 In Memory 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, returned home and later died. 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. Today, we add 513 veterans to the In Memory Honor Roll, joining more than 5,100 heroes that were previously honored. 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

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. The Wall That Heals will be on display in 29 communities across the country in 2022. 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/twth.

“IN MEMORY: FAMILIES OF VIETNAM VETERANS LOST TO AGENT ORANGE AND PTSD” FACEBOOK GROUP

We invite you to join our Facebook group — In Memory: Families of Vietnam Veterans lost to Agent Orange and PTSD. Launched in February 2018, the Facebook group serves to connect our In Memory families all year long and has become a place to share stories of love and loss. It also provides a way to stay up to date on all of the latest In Memory news, the latest updates on the ceremony, and where The Wall That Heals will be on display. More than 15,000 members strong now — we invite you to join us. What others are saying about the Facebook group — “I’m so glad I found this space, with people who understand. Thank you” “No one is alone here. Just reach out. We are all going through the same thing. This site is like a support group for me. I lost my husband in 2016 after 47 years together. Hugs.” “To all of us who are missing someone we love. We will get through. You are a wonderful group.”

JOIN US ON FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2022 AT 10:00 A.M. Please join us tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. for our annual Father’s Day Rose Remembrance at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. 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.

PTSD AWARENESS DAY JUNE 27, 2022

Some left Vietnam but Vietnam didn’t leave them. Nearly 3 million service members served in Vietnam and most returned home. But since then, thousands of Vietnam veterans have battled PTSD — Post Traumatic Stress Disorder — and it has impacted their lives and the lives of their families in many ways. Returning without a proper homecoming compounded the issues veterans faced upon their return. On June 27th — National PTSD Awareness Day — we’ll bring light to the continuing toll of the war. The Vietnam War may be over, but the battle continues for many Vietnam veterans and their families to this day. We hope you’ll join us in DC — or in your own community — on June 27th by raising awareness around the continuing toll of the Vietnam War. You can sponsor a candle and personal message to be placed at the Memorial during VVMF’s PTSD awareness event. For more information on PTSD Awareness Day and how you can get involved, go to: www. vvmf.org/ptsd-awareness.

These are just a few of the messages that were left at The Wall last year on PTSD Awareness Day:

“Don’t be afraid to get help. You deserve it. Welcome home brothers.” “For 50 years you fought this demon. Now you are at peace.” “For all who made it home but can’t escape Vietnam. Every. Single. Day.”

AGENT ORANGE AWARENESS DAY AUGUST 10, 2022

The Vietnam War may be over, but the battle continues for many Vietnam veterans. Nearly three million service members served in Vietnam and most returned home. But since then, thousands of Vietnam veterans have fought illnesses related to Agent Orange exposure. This deadly toxin has impacted the lives of thousands of veterans and their families but is largely unknown to most Americans. August 10th is the anniversary of the first day that Agent Orange was sprayed in Vietnam in 1961 and the date we commemorate Agent Orange Awareness Day. We hope you’ll join us in DC — or in your own community — on August 10th by raising awareness around the continuing toll of the Vietnam War. You can sponsor a candle and personal message to be placed at the Memorial during VVMF’s Agent Orange Awareness event. For more information on Agent Orange Awareness Day and how you can get involved, go to: www.vvmf.org/Agent-Orange-Awareness. These are just a few of the messages that have been left at The Wall on Agent Orange Awareness Day:

“Agent Orange took your memories, your health and eventually your life. But you are still alive in our memories and in our hearts every day. We miss you.” “Although you were able to come home, death came with you and you suffered many years — but you made a great life in spite of it. Agent Orange took you from us but we gained a beautiful life from you. Love and miss you.” “Daddy, Thank you for serving our country and all the sacrifices you have made. You were the best Daddy a girl could ask for. You will always be my HERO. There will always be a piece of my heart missing. Agent Orange took you too soon.”

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 due to Agent Orange exposure, PTSD and other illnesses as a result of their service. As more and more veterans passed, the In Memory program was created to honors those who served in Vietnam, returned home and later died. 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 5,600 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 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/.

ECHOES OF THE VIETNAM WAR

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 Since the Vietnam War ended, thousands of Vietnam veterans have suffered due to Agent Orange exposure, PTSD and other illnesses as a result of their service. VVMF’s In Memory program honors Vietnam veterans who returned home and later died.

Earlier this year, VVMF launched a new podcast— Echoes of the Vietnam War. Even after 50 years, the impact of the Vietnam War echoes across generations. Hear stories of service and sacrifice from people who were impacted by the Vietnam War — veterans, their families, and others who add perspective to those experiences.

About the In Memory Program Since the Vietnam War ended, thousands of Vietnam veterans have suffered due to Agent Orange exposure, PTSD and other illnesses as a result of their service. VVMF believes all those who served in Vietnam should be honored and remembered for their service. The In Memory program enables the families and friends of those who came home and later died the opportunity to have them be forever memorialized. 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 5,600 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 know a Vietnam veteran who returned home and later died and would like to have them honored through the In Memory program, please contact VVMF at 202-393-0090 or visit our website to download the application at: www.vvmf.org/inmemory.
