The Virtual Wall is a web site where family and friends can leave personal remembrances to those men and women who died in the Vietnam War. We have all the database information, but we want to remember the fallen as individuals, not just an entry in a database. Each name on our index pages leads to a personal memorial page for that person.

Only the military women and men who died in the Vietnam war and who are listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington are listed on The Virtual Wall. Any Vietnam veteran, both those who died in the war and those who died after returning to the US may be memorialized on the Taps Gallery of the Vietnam Veterans Home Page.

Please ask for remembrances for that have some personal connection: a relative, a buddy in your unit or from training, a friend from school, or even a relative of a friend, or the man you wore a POW/MIA bracelet for - some kind of personal connection. If you wish to make your own memorial web site to all the casualties from your unit, we will be glad to help you with casualty information and we will link to that web site from our Units and Groups index.

Each memorial request must stand on its own content, but we will include a link to a personal memorial site elsewhere on the Internet if requested - provided that site adheres to the rules below.

We wish The Virtual Wall to reflect the dignity and solemnity of the Wall. Therefore, the memorial pages that you create on The Virtual Wall must adhere to a few simple rules:

• No commercials or advertising.
• No links to commercial sites.
• No statements for or against a specific political party or named public figures.
• No copyright infringements.
• No wording unsuitable for children to read.

We reserve the right to decline or accept remembrance requests at our discretion.

Our promises to you in return:

• The rules above apply to us as well.
• We will not have commercials, advertising, or links to commercial sites.
• We will neither request nor accept contributions or donations.
• We will not send you email except regarding your remembrance(s).
• We will not release contact information without your consent.
