To the Editor: I received a letter from Judy King asking for pictures of soldiers listed on the Vietnam Wall. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (“The Wall”) is in the process of building an education center near “The Wall” and needs photos of all the 58,000-plus names on the memorial. When the education center opens, each name and photo will be featured on their birthday. The pictures will also be on the virtual wall on the website for “The Wall.” The Tennessee photos will also be copied and stored at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.
