Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in Southeast Asia. There are 58,000 names on the Vietnam Wall in Washington, including eight women. Lutz honors those who served by owning letters written home from Vietnam, carried-through-the-jungle diaries, Christmas menus, photographs taken on bases and in the field, POW memorial bracelets, military medals, publications given to servicemen, USO show materials, and even a letter home from a POW held in the infamous Hanoi Hilton.
