The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund has teamed with FedEx Office to collect and provide photos of the more than 58,000 service members whose names are listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The photos will become a centerpiece in The Education Center at The Wall, a new facility to be built underground near the Vietnam and Lincoln memorials. FedEx Office centers around the country will collect and scan the photos. Jan Scruggs, founder and president of the memorial fund, said in a statement announcing the National Call for Photos, “It is vital we remember the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. … The education center will allow us to put faces with the names on The Wall and learn some of their stories.”
