How Were The Names Obtained?

During and after the Vietnam war, the Department of Defense compiled a list
of combat zone casualties according to criteria in a 1965 Presidential
Executive Order. The Executive Order specified Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and
coastal areas as a combat zone. If the Department of Defense, acting in
accordance with these directives, considered an individual to be a Vietnam
conflict fatality or to be missing, his/her name would be included. The VVMF
verified the Department of Defense list, where possible, by cross-checking it
against the casualty data provided by the individual service branches. Each
name was then verified by the National Personnel Records Center, National
Archives and Records Service, in St. Louis, Missouri. After computer
processing, the names were checked manually for errors.

This is only a partial list of names of Vietnam veterans from Mississippi
County inscribed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
