Vietnam Veterans Memorial Replica Visits Aggieland

A touring replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is visiting Bryan-College Station through April 30. The mobile wall, known as The Wall That Heals, is a three-quarter-scale, 375-foot-long replica of the memorial in Washington, D.C. The Association of Former Students is a sponsor of this visit; see location and details at TWHTaggieland.com.

Through research, a list of 90 Aggies known to be listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. has been compiled.

This list was compiled by cross-referencing names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial with Aggie names in the “Fallen Comrades in the Vietnam War Era” chapter of “The Book of Aggie Lists: Texas A&M University’s Military Heritage” by former Texas A&M Corps commandant Col. James R. Woodall ’50.

Woodall’s 2020 book lists the names of 202 Aggies “identified as having died in military service (combat and non-combat) during the Vietnam Era.”

The list of known Aggies on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is shorter because the memorial honors primarily those who died in combat or in a combat zone.

Visitors can look up names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces. The touring replica has the same names in the same locations as the D.C. memorial.
