Where can you find the names of people who served in the Vietnam War?

Answer 1

Unfortuantely you can't because at the end of the war the Vietnam Government denied there were any POWs. It was said by some that the Vietcong moved the POWs weekly from one rice patty to another. By the time the American Government withdrew their troops out of Vietnam it was difficult to get back in to find any POWs. It has been told that there were some vets who did try to find POWs (secret missions), but as I said before, the Vietcong moved any possible POWs often and none were ever found. I believe there were POWs. Marcy

Answer 2

Finding the names of the 3,403,100 US servicemen who fought in Southeast Asia will prove difficult, but probably not impossible. As would be for the 2,594,000 servicemen who fought "in country" of South Vietnam itself. However, the names of more than 58,000 men and 8 women who died there can be found by going to the Vietnam War Wall Memorial site.

Answer 3

Yes - the Defense Prisoner of War / Missing Personnel Office maintains an online list of all American POW's and MIA's, including those captured / interred who were not officially afforded POW status due to their particular circumstances (e.g., the USS Pueblo incident).

Answer 4

There are over 2 1/2 million names.
