To the family and friends of LTC Edwin Parker Anderson(Andy): Would you have a photo of him for the Vietnam Memorial(VVMF)? His photo is missing from all the Major Vietnam Web Sites plus the new one being built in Washington DC called â??Faces on the Wallâ??. A High School Yearbook photo would be fine or a Cruise Book photo.
We are doing this for the new Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC that broke ground in November 2012. The photos will be displayed in this memorial once it is completed in 2014. Here is the link to that site: http://www.buildthecenter.org. We have been searching for photos of these Veterans since 2006 and we need some help. Some of these Veterans we donâ??t have very much information on so we can try and track down a photo.
Sincerely, Jim Reece, VVMF Volunteer.
