Three Names Added to Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Week of May 14, 2007

Three more names have been added to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. They are Army Sgt. Richard M. Pruett or Sherman, Texas, Navy Fireman Apprentice Joseph Gerald Krywicki of Holton, Mich., and Army Spc. Wesley Alvin Stiverson of Monticello, Ill. The Defense Department decides which names are to be inscribed on the wall. Since the memorial was dedicated in 1982, a few names have been added each year, and the new names are being added to panels of the wall that are closest to the dates that the men were wounded. For more information on the Memorial, visit the National Park Service's Vietnam Veterans Memorial website.
