The Virtual Wall is a commemorative Web site 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 Wall 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. The Memorial Fund 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.
On November 10, 1998, The Virtual Wall was launched during a White House ceremony hosted by Vietnam veteran and then-Vice President Al Gore. The Memorial Fund and Winstar Communications Inc. created the Web site. From spring 2001-summer 2003, Soza and Company, Ltd. maintained the site and helped underwrite its hosting.
Through this interactive Web site, the healing power and emotional impact of The Wall now is extended 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 Wall.
