More than 30 years have passed since the Vietnam War ended. Perhaps you knew someone who died in the war. Maybe you've visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. With 58,320 names on the wall, one person could be difficult to locate.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial has gone digital. The digital version is stitched together from more than 6,000 photographs. You can search for a name on the wall quickly and easily using the search box. It will take you to the name instantly.

Once you find the name, you can click on it. This will bring up details on the person, such as rank, hometown and cause of death. But you can help show the person behind the name. You can add photos and comments about your loved one. This is a fitting way to pay homage. To visit the site, click here:
