We are attempting to make a list of all Berne area men and women who served in the armed forces during the Vietnam War.
If you know someone who served, please add their name to the list. If you know more about any of them, if would be a fitting tribute to them if you would also create a biography of them. Until then, the only thing we can share with viewers of this page is their name.
