NAMES on THE WALL

A PROGRAM FOR FRIENDS, FAMILY AND VETERANS

Acknowledgements

This program was designed by Chuck Mangi (US Army) at the request of Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 49, Westchester Co., NY

Thanks to Fred Hillmann (USMC), Chapter 49 who wanted "something better". Fred and Chuck Mangi are pictured together at the Moving Wall in Carmel, New York, October 7, 1995.

Thanks to John DeVitt (US ARMY) who supplied the initial list of the names and who subsequently updated that list and passed it along. And also to John for providing those in the US who cannot travel to Washington the opportunity to share through his "Moving Wall" the emotion and memories that the Vietnam Veterans Memorial evokes.

Thanks to Jim Mangi (Chuck's brother, US Army) as a representitive of that special breed who volunteered to go to Vietnam at the worst of times.

Thanks to Jim Mangi (Chuck's son) who felt NAMES on THE WALL deserved recognition on the Internet.
Thanks to Bill McBride, who agreed with Jim, and put it there.
