The Virtual Vietnam Wall--
https://www.virtualwall.org/index.html
Here you can search by:
    By Last Name
    By State & City
    Wall Panels by Date
and also see
    Faces of Freedom (photos)
    Send us a photo
    Height of Valor (medals)
    By Military Unit
    MIA Status
    About The Wall
    About Us
    Who We Are
    Links       FAQs

I think the easiest is by state.
https://www.virtualwall.org/iStates.htm
This is really sobering. First click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the town/city of address and look at the names. Click on the name and then 'Full Profile', it will give details of the person's death, a picture or at least their bio and medals.
This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it.

I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.
Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.

 Hey Ted,,many THANKS for that link,,!!  YES,,it IS sobering and made even more so because of ALL BS going on in the country that almost mocks what all these fallen heros laid down their lives for. YES very sobering.
  I looked by State and found an old school mate that in 1964, he failed to tell the recruiter his real age and they snapped him up and got sent to the front lines right out of boot camp. Unfortunatly, he became New Mexico's first casualty in that terrible war,,,,,,,

Thanks Ted.  I looked up a man that I knew died  air dropping ammo.  He was shot down. But I didn't know he was only in country  2 months .  I got there one month after him and flew the same mission.    We made it back to base with 57 holes .  It was a scary time.

Found my old school buddy, Darrel Lawson, from Edmonton, Alberta. He had dual citizenship and joined the Marines right out of high school. Died Sept .67.  He was a good buddy and I still think of him often.  Thanks for the post.

You're welcome guys.  I have been perusing it for the last few days and it seems like there are a lot of guys that were in country and died within 4 or 5 months.
A very sad era for our country.  All those lives lost and for what.  We didn't know any better then but we have learned.  God, please keep us free.
I lost a 1st cousin who was like a brother to me.  A classmate (3rd cousin) and 4 school mates.  I was one of the lucky ones to come home.
