This is really sobering.  First click on a state.  When it opens, scroll down to the city where you went to high school and look at the names.  Click on the name and it will give details of the person's death, a picture or at least their bio and medals. This really is an amazing web site.  Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it. I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country. Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.
