Name Additions

 

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund receives numerous requests each year from individuals who desire to have particular names placed on the Memorial. And while the Memorial Fund finances the name additions to The Wall, we do not determine whose names are to be inscribed. It is the Department of Defense that makes these difficult and often very technical decisions. Our organization does not have the authority to overrule those who adjudicate these matters. 

Neither victims of Agent Orange nor PTSD-induced suicides fit the parameters for inclusion on The Wall. However, The Memorial Fund honors those who have died as a result of the Vietnam War, but do not meet the requirements for inclusion on The Wall with its In Memory program. Please contact us at 202-393-0090 or via email at vvmf@vvmf.org for more information.
