In an effort to preserve the legacy of those who sacrificed all in Vietnam, DMVA is working with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund in Washington D.C., to find a photo for each of the Pennsylvanians whose name is listed on the Wall of Faces through the generosity of those willing to help locate their photos. This program will ensure that Vietnam Veterans from Pennsylvania will be remembered and honored by visitors from around the globe for generations to come.
If you have a picture of a loved one or fellow veteran whose name is on the list above, please help VVMF honor these individuals by putting a face with a name. For information on how to submit a photo, please visit the Virtual Wall of Faces website.
All photos collected will be featured in VVMF’s Virtual Wall of Faces and in the future Education Center at The Wall.
Act 176 of 2012 has allowed PennDot it issue a Pennsylvania driver's license or identification card that clearly indicates that the bearer is a veteran of the United States Armed Forces.
Qualified applicants should visit: www.dmv.state.pa.us click on the American flag icon with the phrase "Veterans Designation beneath it.
