THE WALL OF FACES

First Lieutenant Joseph Russle Clinch, Served with Company B, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Hey Joe,
We’ve had many conversations over these past 50 years!
I’ve always wondered what your children would be like! And How you and Kim would be like as well! I can imagine you and Kim with 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls! Probably some married with children of their own! I wonder what life would be like for you to be here and be apart of your brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews lives!
I Love and Miss You Every Day!
Until We Meet Again!
Love Your Lil Sis,
Janis

Even though it has been 50 years, I have not forgotten you big brother.

Dear Lt Joseph Clinch,

Rest in peace with the angels.

We need your help! Since 1986, the students of Lake Central High School in Northwest Indiana have been researching men and women from the State of Indiana who gave their lives in the Vietnam War. We are the researchers for the World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War Memorials located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Of the1621 Vietnam casualties, we have located 1100+ families as of the date of this entry. We are now researching the men and women from the State of Illinois who gave their lives in the Vietnam War.
