Remembrance
In Memory & Hometown Heroes
The Wall carries 58,281 names. These programs carry the rest of the story — the neighbors who served, and those who came home and were later lost.
Honor a Loved One
In Memory submissions
The Oneonta display has ended, but VVMF's national In Memory program continues to honor Vietnam veterans who returned home and later died.

Hometown Heroes
During The Wall That Heals visit to Oneonta, the Mobile Education Center’s digital displays featured the service members on The Wall who called our surrounding communities home — their photographs and stories, drawn from VVMF’s Wall of Faces.
Twenty-six service members from our area are among the names on The Wall, nine of them from Oneonta itself. Explore the Wall of Faces to find and remember them.
They Came Home
The In Memory Program
Thousands of Vietnam veterans returned home and later died as a result of their service — Agent Orange exposure, PTSD, and other service-related causes. Their names are not on The Wall, but they are never forgotten.
VVMF’s In Memory program honors these veterans, and their photographs appear on the In Memory Honor Roll screens when The Wall That Heals visited. Families can learn about the continuing national In Memory program through VVMF.
Oneonta display closed: The local 2026 submission period has ended. Check VVMF for current national program details and future deadlines.
“In memory of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War and later died as a result of their service. We honor and remember their sacrifice.”
