Footnote.com is adding social media tools to The Vietnam Memorial, one of the most recognized memorials in Washington, D.C. For those who have visited the wall, you know finding names is not easy. Nor does a visit to the wall allow you to learn more about many people and heros who served.
Footnote.com’s new social media version of The Vietnam Memorial brings The Vietnam Memorial inside the comfort of your own home. By creating a searchable image of The Wall, now it’s easy to find friends, family or names. Once found, Footnote.com allows you to search the details about soldiers, post stories about fallen comrades and even upload pictures of service men and women. By adding social media to The Vietnam Memorial, the conversation about the individuals listed can continue and honor can be extended to those who fell while rendering service.

THE VIRTUAL WALL does not accept donations, fees, or advertising in order to honor the fallen.
In 2001 THE VIRTUAL WALL partnered to take high-resolution photographs of the Wall, which can be browsed and zoomed at
