During the Vietnam War there was no overriding reason to keep close track of names of the men and women who died as a result of military service in the war zone. A decade after the withdrawal of US forces, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was approved for construction. The service branches went back through their records to identify our dead by name. Inevitably some men who should have been named on the "Wall" were not. Over the years additional names have been inscribed on the Wall - some were men who died after the war as a result of wounds received in the war, and others were men whose names were overlooked in earlier years.
The name Cornelius Spillane, Jr is not yet on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, and may never be. If it does get added, his name will be placed on the nearest panel with space available, near the names of those who died the same day. 
MSG Spillane is buried in Saint Michaels Cemetery, Rollinsford, Strafford County, New Hampshire. Not known if wife Mary Elizabeth McCabe Spillane (3 Jul 1918 - 20 Sep 2006) was interred with him.
