Continuing to honor American veterans. The Library of Congress is sponsoring a Veterans Oral History Project and students have expressed interest in interviewing veterans and forwarding the interviews to Washington. Students interview a veteran and the interview is then sent to the Library of Congress where it is archived and becomes a permanent part of the Library collection. Information about this project can be found at the Library of Congress website

“Put a Face With a Name”.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund sponsors a “Virtual Wall” (http://www.vvmf.org) which contains information about all the 58,235 men and women who were lost while serving in Vietnam. They now have the capability to post pictures of the men and women who were lost.
Prior year students have scanned all the pictures we received from the “612 project” and are in the process of uploading them to the web site. Unfortunately, we do not have many pictures! If you know of anyone who was lost in the Vietnam War and have a picture of them, please upload it to the Vietnam web site or send it the school and we will scan and upload the picture. Please label all pictures.
