Vietnam Veterans Memorial goes interactive

RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes

Family and friends of soldiers who died or vanished in the Vietnam War can now pay their respects at a virtual version of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Historical document site Footnote.com, along with the National Archives, has created an interactive, searchable version of the Memorial. Every name etched onto the physical wall is viewable online and linked to the veteran's service record.

More than 2,000 photos were taken of the Vietnam Memorial wall to create the online version.
