WHRO Public Media Identifies Remaining 15 Virginia Veterans Still In Need of Photo for 'Wall of Faces'

WHRO Public Media has honored veterans through several initiatives, with the longest-running project being the Wall of Faces.  The virtual Wall of Faces was developed to honor and remember every person whose name is inscribed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The goal being to find a photo to go with each of the more than 58,000 names on The Wall. Of that number, there are 1,307 names from Virginia. 

As we approach Veteran’s Day 2019, 15 names still need a photo.   “As we’ve worked with individuals and community partners to locate photos for this project, we’ve learned the incredible stories of some of the veterans who served, “said Bert Schmidt, President and CEO of WHRO Public Media.  “We would love nothing more than to report all have been found.”

WHRO Public Media has identified the remaining veterans from Virginia still in need of a photo.
