Vietnam veterans group seeking photos of 190 Tennesseans killed during war

A volunteer is collecting photos of all of the fallen or missing veterans from Vietnam to display online and in the Education Center planned to be built beside the famous memorial in Washington D.C.

Five decades after they died, historians, supporters and veterans are hoping to add a permanent face to the more than 58,000 troops killed in Vietnam.

It was among the bloodiest conflicts since World War II, and nearly 1,300 from Tennessee were killed.

Janna Hoehn, a Hawaii resident, has volunteered along with others to collect photos of all of the fallen or missing veterans from Vietnam to display online and in the Education Center planned to be built beside the famous memorial in Washington D.C. It's part of an effort she and others have worked on for several years, amassing 53,000 photos.

But she's seeking help in finding those still missing. A total of 190 from across Tennessee still do not have a photo, she said. More than 70 of the veterans are from Shelby County alone, and nearly two dozen others from Hamilton County.

"Even if you don't have a photo but know which school any of these young men attended, it would be so helpful," she said in a news release.

Hoehn and others are collecting photos state by state.Twenty-six states have been completed, she said.

Photos can be emailed to Hoehn at neverforgotten2014@gmail.com.

Veterans without photos from Tennessee

The following list includes the names, dates of birth/death and homes of record of Tennesseans killed or missing during the Vietnam War that will be included in the Education Center at the war's memorial in Washington, D.C. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is aiming to include a photo of every name etched onto the wall.
