ON THE WALL Panel 01W Line 075
I Chose Peter Chan because he has the same last name as me. I want to know if anyone with my last name has lost their life in the Vietnam war. It is such a shame that his body could not have been recovered. It is also a shame that only 8 women are on this wall. 156 Medal of Honor recipients are on this wall too.
He chose this person for the same reason I chose mine. All of the names on the wall should be honored.
