FACES FROM THE WALL

Vietnam War

WASHINGTON STATE
WEBSITE

Faces from the Wall is dedicated:
to my husband: Martin McArthur Bednar, 1961-1965 Navy
to my friend: Ray Paul, regular Army, who barely survived
and to my kindergarden friend: Bobby Armitage,
whose name is recorded on the wall


This project started November 2002 with one concept... to "place faces to the names of the 1050 Washington State men whose names are on the Vietnam Memorial Wall.

I Started with the National Archive list for Washington State and an Aberdeen high school yearbook. . . The project has grown . . . and now includes the Men from Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Recently we began honoring the guys from the Korean War and the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts and the many Civilians that died.

began May 2005
We have just begun the task of finding, recording, and researching the civilians, men and women who died in Vietnam. The numbers are in the hundreds and include many women who were in Vietnam as Missionaries, Aid Relief Volunteers, and other civilian professions. I, especially, am interested in the Merchant Marines who died serving their country. My father William Franklin Cordray, WWII and Korea, USN retired, who spent time in-country as a Merchant Marine.
