Vietnam Veteran’s Education Center
For the past year I have been volunteering for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund in Washington D.C.
I collected photos of all 42 Maui County Fallen Soldiers from the Vietnam War. The goal is to find a photo of each Soldier whose name is etched on the Wall, all 58,272 of them. To date over 30,000 photos have been submitted including all the Maui County Soldiers.
After submitting each photo to the Virtual Wall in Washington D.C. I was asked by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund if I
could help raise money to honor the Maui Soldiers to build the Education Center. The Center will break
ground Veterans Day 2012, the 30th anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. They have
asked for $1,000 per Soldier, $42,000. The Education Center will be an underground facility adjacent to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. It will teach future generations about the Vietnam War and display the hundreds of thousands of memorabilia that have been left at
the Wall for the past 30 years.
VVMF is a non profit organization, all funds donated have been private, there is no government funding.
