Museum seeks names of Logan County soldiers who lost their lives in Vietnam

[April 28, 2010]  This year marks the 45th anniversary of the U.S. sending soldiers into combat in Vietnam. During Airport Daze on Saturday, Heritage In Flight will be remembering Logan County soldiers who gave their lives in Vietnam.

Families are invited to attend the noon-hour ceremonies. During a brief tribute a bell will be sounded as each soldier's name is read aloud.

The museum is asking for your help. There are no complete rolls that identify all of the Logan County soldiers who fought and lost their lives in Vietnam. If anyone can add names or complete missing information to the list below, it would be appreciated.

Send your information to Jack Burke at [e-mail] or call 217-433-0060.
