3 new names on Vietnam Veterans Memorial to be recognized as part of Memorial Day ceremony

By: Kevin Lilley, May 24, 2017

Three fallen service members whose names have been added to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be honored as part of Monday's Memorial Day observance in front of the panels of polished black granite, according to a recent news release from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.

Five additional service members whose names already appear on the memorial will have their status updated from missing in action to deceased after their remains were accounted for last year.
