I just received a notice that the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund will be doing another Reading of the Names for the 30th Anniversary of the Wall this year. Many of us got together 5 years ago and read most of our 119th names and it was an experience I will never forget. A full report is elsewhere on this site. I am not going to do it again, but if anyone is interested, here's the letter from the woman in charge of this year's event:
================================================

2012 promises to be a very exciting year for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund as it is the 30th Anniversary of the Wall. As we have done in past anniversary years we will be hosting the Reading of the Names. The Reading of the Names took place in Washington, D.C. just four other times in The Wall’s history. In November 1982, the names were read aloud at Washington National Cathedral as part of a week-long National Salute to Vietnam Veterans. The names were read at The Wall during the 10th Anniversary celebration in November 1992, during the 20th Anniversary celebration in 2002 and during the 25th Anniversary celebration in 2007.

In order to get all the information regarding The Reading of the Names please make sure to sign-up with your preferred contact information. Our primary method of communication will be via email.

Sincerely,

JoAnn Waller
