Support the VVMF
this Memorial Day

Launched on November 10, 1998, The Virtual Memorial is a commemorative website created to extend the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It allows families, friends and veterans to post photo, text and audio remembrances to those who lost their lives in the war or remain missing in action.

The Virtual Memorial features more than 100,000 messages, anecdotes and photographs and provides visitors with the ability to view digital name rubbings similar to those at The Wall in Washington, D.C. VVMF encourages you to post remembrances for friends and loved ones whose names are inscribed on the Memorial to remember and honor each and every one of those who served in the Vietnam War and to expand this digital legacy project.

If you have a photo of someone whose name is on The Wall, please consider sharing it for use in the Education Center at The Wall. The Education Center is being built underground on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and will showcase the photos of the more than 58,000 individuals whose names are on The Wall. If you submit your photo for the Education Center, it will also appear on The Virtual Memorial.

Funded initially by Winstar Communications and Soza and Company, Ltd., the Virtual Memorial now extends the healing power and emotional impact of The Wall to millions of more people through the Internet. For veterans, family, friends and others who are unable to travel to the nation's capital, the site offers an opportunity to remember and honor the more than 58,000 men and women whose names are inscribed on the Memorial.

Thank you for visiting The Virtual Memorial.
